http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Windows/emerge says:
"Beginning from the KDE 4.8 (including master and the frameworks branch) 
Python 3.2 will be required."

The 4.8 announcement at 
http://windows.kde.org/news.php#itemKDESoftwareCompilation480forWindowsavailable
also suggests that KDE 4.8 has moved to Python 3.

Following the previous documents, anybody trying emerge for KDE 4.8 will 
install Python 3.2, which doesn't work (throws a syntax error on line 168 of 
emerge.py)

Can anybody clarify if there is something that requires Python 3 for KDE 4.8,  
And if not, please fix the documentation?
