Hi all,
In an attempt to cleanup and simplify the code, I was planning to edit all the plugin launcher code and remove all vestiges of our former python 2.x support that still remain. Support for python 2 plugins in Sigil has long been removed so this should not impact any current plugins (or not many).

Things like compatibility-utils, unipath, all the "from __future__" stuff, would all go away and lots of py2 only code as well in sigil_gumboc, sigil_bs4, etc.

Given that Calibre now supports and desires python3 plugins as well, any plugins that shared code along these lines across the two projects should still work.

I wanted to get feedback from plugin devs first, before starting this cleanup.
And make sure they copy any needed code from plugin_launchers they still want into their own plugin projects before it starts going away.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks,

KevinH
