You're right, of course.
I shoudn't rely solely on hoorex, it seems:

$ grep REQUIRES= development/Sphinx/Sphinx.info.build
REQUIRES="alabaster imagesize python3-babel docutils Jinja2 python3-packaging 
Pygments python-requests python3-six snowballstemmer sphinxcontrib-applehelp 
sphinxcontrib-devhelp sphinxcontrib-htmlhelp sphinxcontrib-jsmath 
sphinxcontrib-qthelp sphinxcontrib-serializinghtml"

$ hoorex -r Sphinx
python-chardet six imagesize MarkupSafe alabaster python-certifi docutils 
Jinja2 pyparsing python-urllib3 pytz babel packaging sphinxcontrib-websupport 
snowballstemmer Pygments typing idna python-requests Sphinx

This is on my heavily modified -current box, but in the containers (stock 
slackware 14.2 and slackware64 14.2) the output was very similar, i.e.: no 
mention of python3.

I'll have to re-test next weekend.

Exactly!

OK. I guess this will be a non-issue when both scripts get merged for 
Slackware 15.0.

Mmmhh, I probably should pay more attention then, I though it merely errored 
out.
