Hi,

I would consider merging Python3 into 5.1 mandatory now, after the
following comment (It seems like Fedora 29 will ship KiCad without
scripting support enabled due to Python2 dependency):
* https://github.com/KiCad/fedora-packaging/pull/20#issuecomment-423963638

It seems there is still Python2 in Fedora 29, but I suspect it to be
present in Fedora 30 (Final freeze in April 2019). And I suspect even
more that KiCad 6 will be ready at this time.

Regards,
Thomas
