auto convert Python 2 to 3 app

[ProDigit]

I wonder if the following link is helpful in quick-converting FAHControl from Python 2 to Python 3?
Even if it runs with bugs, we at least would have a working control version (or Beta) for a modern Ubuntu/linux.
Newer hardware supporting PCIE 4.0 might not be supported anymore on older Linux versions.

I checked this topic a bit, looks like the whole db connection of this app is based on the https://github.com/lgastako/db which is python2 and not maintained. Feels like porting everything py2 -> py3 it would make more sense to use this project as a template and rewrite from scratch.

Or just fork https://github.com/lgastako/db and convert py2 to py3 too? Seems more easy than rewrite from scratch?

Hi, I've started porting the controller part by rewrite at https://github.com/henriklindgren/fah-control-2020 just this week, I'm not making any promises but I think I'll get out a version soon enough. The idea is to copy the most of the network code, for the UI I'm trying PySimpleGUI which might have more heart than sense but it runs on tkinter alone and can be made to run over QT and others without too much fuss. Reasoning stated in the README. Hope it interests someone, cheers

Edit: note that this is not the same as #56 which uses GTK3 directly

Will it be possible to be PEP8 compliant? it will help the project be more consistent with other projects of python and easier to read

Packages on the beta site still depend on Python2 which is not available in latest Ubuntu.
