Thank you, I also need this package because Python-Markdown is going to
use it for building its docs as well at some point in the future (will
need to think how to avoid the circular dependency though).

Circular build depends, what fun :-)

 

Looks like upstream really does not provide any stable Python API,
so I think there is no need to build public module packages.

What should I call the package? mkdocs? Or python3-mkdocs?

 

But you will make me a bit happier if you make the executable use
Python 3.

That will have to wait for a python3-watchdog package.

Also an update: at one stage I was concerned that it wouldn't work with python markdown 2.5.1, which is in Debian. This appears to be incorrect - it seems to work fine for me anyway. I get the impression the only reason for depending on markdown < 2.5 is for Python 2.6 support, which we don't care about.
