Python support and dependencies have been droped from gcmd in version
1.8.1. You should not need any python dependency anymore since that
version. I am not aware that I missed any dependency, which could be of
course. In this case we would have a bug. Did the person from the
Manjaro forum pointed out where that dependency is located?
