Well, it would be fine to let it depend on Python3, although Python2 hasn't
reached EOL yet in Fedora. Currently it doesn't work. The package build fails
on the tests:

+ make check
capabilities
  File "../doclifter", line 469
    return "<Frame: " + `self.__dict__` + ">"
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
*** Nonzero return status on capabilities!
make[1]: *** [regress] Error 1
make: *** [check] Error 2
Fehler: Fehler-Status beim Beenden von /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.uON8zA (%check)

When I disable them, the package builds, but doclifter fails with a syntax
error:

$ doclifter knapsen.1
  File "/bin/doclifter", line 469
    return "<Frame: " + `self.__dict__` + ">"
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

That's why I will import the Python2 package for the time being, but I will ask
the upstream developer Eric S. Raymond for a solution. Maybe it is simply to
fix  with 2to3, but my knowledge is poor in this case, so it is up to Eric to
fix it.

Thanks in any case for the hint. You are right, if we have the chance to use
Python3, we should do so. I will have a look at my Python2 based packages if
they run with Python3. As far as I can remember, sfbm should be able to.
