From ba35018593547eac69998e2571fc95cf620f2220 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jani Nikula Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 18:09:12 +0300 Subject: Documentation/sphinx: fix kernel-doc extension on python3 Reconcile differences between python2 and python3 on dealing with stdout, stderr from Popen. This fixes "name 'unicode' is not defined" errors on python3. We'll need to try to keep the extension working on both python-sphinx and python3-sphinx so we don't need two copies.
