please use Python3 for all scripts

[Matthias Klose]

There is still the goal to remove Python2 from the desktop images, and to use Python3 only. Please convert the remaining scripts and drop the dependency on python.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Here is the python3 version. Note, we still build with python2 distutils auto debhelper integration which wasn't ported to python3, but this one isn't installed on the runtime.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xdiagnose - 3.8

---------------
xdiagnose (3.8) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * Port and ensure scripts are running with python3 (LP: #1440564)

As it turns out, xdiagnose was still Depending on Python 2. I completed the port by switching to --buildsystem=pybuild and dropping all Python 2-isms. I have a diff, attached here, that completes the port to Python 3 (hence why I re-opened this bug). Before I upload it though, perhaps Didier could give it a sanity check?

LGTM, thanks Barry!

Thanks! Uploaded. BTW, lp:xdiagnose seemed terribly out of date so I didn't modify it. I'm not sure if there's a current upstream branch for xdiagnose.

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

same, it was already out of date, I didn't dare touching it ;)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xdiagnose - 3.8.3

---------------
xdiagnose (3.8.3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Complete the port to Python 3-only. (LP: #1440564)
  * d/control: Update Build-Depends to use pybuild and drop Python 2.
  * d/rules: Switch to --buildsystem pybuild and simplify rules.
  * d/compat: Bump to version 9.
