Description:
python_markdown has no support for python3, and consequently doesn't work (Unicode vs Bytestring problems). It's a known issue[1] according to the github repository, but hasn't been fixed yet. In other words, this package is effectively not functional. [1] https://github.com/trentm/python-markdown2/issues/64 |

Slowpoke, if you have any suggestion for how you'd like to see this resolved please make it. Otherwise I'll just delete the package.
Ángel, why did you create a package for something that was known to be completely non-functional?
I personally think deleting the py3 version of the package (for now) would be the best action to take, as well.
Providing completely non-functional software isn't a good idea if you ask me, especially if the issue is well known to upstream.
So in order to have it as splitted you should comment that part on the PKGBUILD because eventually it will work and it will be used.
People who had python-markdown installed before this was pointing to python2 version so you can add a replaces on python2-markdown package.
