Hi, really sorry for the late response, I just remembered this thread
while working on another Python script.

There are prompts in Italian in that file, and that's the bug report I
want to close. But that's not all: if you do

pydoc `which pykig.py`

you should get a listing of all classes in that file and documentation
about them - and these are all in Italian, since those are extracted
from the comments in the file. Ideally, we should be able to provide
documentation in any language KDE supports, although I'm not sure
about how to apply that to pydocs, but in any case, I think it makes
more sense to have that pydoc in English, but I may be wrong. What do
you think?
