[PATCH] get initial Python 3 support

 

Hi,

I managed to get KiCad to run with Python 3 as well as did some quick
verification that basic methods are working using CLI (loading boards,
calling a method of it).

Bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1785119

My Branch: https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-source-mirror/tree/python3

scripting inside of kicad was not tested because I'm not really familiar
with it right now, as well as because of known wx problems with that stuff.

For now it can be enabled using -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_PYTHON3=ON
It is not possible to export modules for python 2 and python 3 with one
build at the moment, but this should a thing which can be fixed in the
build-script.

I made some small changes to existing python code to get it working on
both versions. To my knowledge and tests the scripts should not have
changed behavior.

Regards, Thomas
