# NOTE: While kernel-doc requires at least version 3.6 to run, the
#       command line should work with Python 3.2+ (tested with 3.4).
#       The rationale is that it shall fail gracefully during Kernel
#       compilation with older Kernel versions. Due to that:
#       - encoding line is needed here;
#       - no f-strings can be used on this file.
#       - the libraries that require newer versions can only be included
#         after Python version is checked.
