Your guesses are pretty 'spot-on' normally.
Arch has python 3.3.3, but also
includes python 2.7.6 as 'python2'. We should be able to patch the superkaramba
cmake file to call python2 instead of python which should solve the problem.
A lot of things about string handling changed between Python 2 and Python 3,
and the problems associated with this are one of the main reasons Python 2
is still a going concern. For practical purposes, it's easiest to treat the two as
separate languages, rather than as two versions of the same language,
because most code is surprisingly difficult to transfer.
