xrandr-tool depends on py3, not py2

[Christian González]

Using Ubuntu 13.04, type "xrandr-tool outputs" and watch it crash with the following message:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./xrandr-tool", line 82, in <module>
     for line in str(xrandr_stdout, encoding='utf8').split("\n"):
 TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)

in /usr/bin/xrandr-tool, line 82, the str() builtin does not accept a second argument. So, this is wrong.
Side question: why not port it to Python3 ASAP?

Just for testing purposes: removing the ", encoding='utf-8'" part makes it work.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

It is written for python3, but asks to run python2. The str() interface changed from 2 to 3.

$ python3 `which xrandr-tool` outputs
DVI-I-1
DVI-D-1
DVI-D-2

$ python `which xrandr-tool` outputs

This was fixed at least in 16.04.
