  kapidox already supports Python 3. Even @kossebau wrote that earlier:

  So:
  
  - kapidox supports Python 2.7, and Python 3
  - the bug is not present when kapidox is run with Python 3
  - api.kde.org runs under Python 2, which is a problem on its own
  
  @aacid: sorry to say that: the one that should rethink their position is you, since you are completely misunderstand what I said, and partially also what Friedrich said.
