Details

The current PKGBUILD lists "python" as dependency.
Geany however does not depend on Python at runtime.

IMO this should get a "makedepends" or even omitted as "python-lxml" is already a makedep.

It seems the python dependency was added in https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/ce9887a61bb05e8cc326c2c0e212713e8a34cc88#diff-8d0411b338c83cd8cd8ad9d9db127101 but unfortunately the commit message gives no hint about the reasoning :(.
This task depends upon

It's needed internally by the build system only, to generate gtkdoc headers for installation. I don't know why it's a dependency but this seems wrong.

Thanks for reporting! I made python a make dependency instead.
