Web Page Update..

Hello,
You might wish to change your documentation for the download and install of Calibre to say python2 instead of python. My current default python interpreter is now python3, which does not have urllib2 among other changes. This is on a current version of ArchLinux.

Arch have switched their default python to python3?! That's rather brave of them. Debian based distros like *buntu have no python2, which means changing that to python2 is not a good idea. I'll see if it is possible to make that command line work on both python 2 and 3, if not, Arch users will just have to suffer.

Changed the install script to work with both python 2 and 3. What a waste of 3 hours of my life.
