Yes, that is coming.

I was a little confused by that as well. It looks like the 2.x version
supports
Python 2. The main branch that will be a 3.x release to eventually go with
Pidgin 3.x supports Python 3.

To me the website should mention release dependencies not main branch
dependencies that hasn't even had a release yet.
