In the compile how to documentation in Leia there is no mention at all about how to compile it using Python 3.
I would be interested in such a subject. Any pointer?
Thanks.

I don't think that's an option (at least not anymore). I vaguely recall (and might be wrong) very, very early in the Kodi19 development there were options to build Kodi18 with Python3, but that was just an interim thing until Kodi19 was stable enough for testing. I think the only option now for Python3 support is to build Kodi19 (or use one of the nightly builds).

WHY??. This build is 100% useless as it has xbmc.python compat at 2.1.0 and install addons from the Leia repo which are meant for py2. Even if you somehow fix it to have xbmc.python 3.0.0 you will need to backport ALL the changes in matrix for addons to work properly. Distros should not add useless patches that break upstream.
I use Arch LInux BTW.

fedora users will be happy to have almost all a lot of addons broken
Not to mention that such a kodi binary is unsupported here
