D22836: Fix checking dirs for metainfo.yaml with non-ascii chars with Python 2.7

[Friedrich W. H. Kossebau]

  I find myself in line with what @aacid said ;)
  The whole idea of this patch is to plug in api.kde.org back instantly, so everyone working e.g. on apps for which special new API was added to some KDE Frameworks module can see their API dox.
  
  Switching the whole generation to Python3 needs someone to carefully do this, as there might be unforeseen side-effects when it comes running the wrapper script and doing this over the whole codebase.. This being software after all. Deploy only after testing :)
  While the Python2-based system was known to work, there were no code changes otherwie and assumingly generation only started to fall over the non-asccii dirname appearing somewhere.. Which this fix would catch up with, it's effects being easy to oversee, so less surprises to expect.
  
  @bshah being the one who polked api.kde.org some more recently should be the one best positioned to jedge, so hoping on his commnents tomorrow :)
