I've tried your suggestion and it seems to be the right way, thus making
check-rules work, I'm going to push a change.

The problem with check_spell, on the other hand, is that it seems broken even
with python2, as the call to aspell leads to a segmentation fault, at least on
Debian testing. check_spell wraps aspell directly, calling the C library. My
suggestion would be to drop check_spell completely and use check_spell_ec,
which is based on the enchant library, which works. Maybe even rename it as
check_spell. Unfortunately it doesn't support XML output right now.

Ciao
