Pronterface doesn't work.

[rew]

It took me a day of figuring out, but I finally found what's wrong.

pronterface is not python-3 compatible. My system has python-3 installed as the default python, so the #!/usr/bin/python points at python3.

But at least on line 54 (", err" -> "as err") it is not python-3 compatible. After fixing that it still didn't run, so there is at least one more fix before it is python-3 compatible.

The quick fix is to distribute printrun with "requires python2" and a "#!/usr/bin/python2" at the beginning. The neater fix is to help porting the app to python3. (I've written two python programs now with the manual in hand, I'm not the right person to do that).
