Python3 Migration and Deluge 2.x support

[shadowbq]

Its time to support Deluge 2.x and Python 3. Python 2.x is dead..

I'm not really working on this plugin much anymore due to lack of time. PR's are welcome (i'll be better about review+merge)

It does not look like the migration guide on the Deluge website is complete. I tried building the package using their migration guide using Python3.6. The egg was created but the plugin did not enable. Digging deeper it said that the core module is missing from the plugin.

It could be I have missed something. I'll update here if I can fix it

@nicklan I created a new pull request #24 for this issue.

Current appearance on my Ubuntu 20.04 :)

I tried it too, it's working wonderfully. Thanks, @Daniel-Marynicz for the hard work.

I get this error when trying to enable the plugin on my Odroid N2 (ubuntu minimal) via Windows 10:

You need install python3-gi and gtk3 bindings
probably with command

sudo apt install python3-gi gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Now I can see that Deluge 2.x support is integrated in the sources. I've built the .egg from this repository and it works fine with my Deluge client 2.0.3 on Windows.
SI I guess the time has come to make a new release, put it into https://github.com/nicklan/Deluge-Pieces-Plugin/downloads and update the info about 2.x compatibility on the https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins page.

If I wouldn't miss this plugin so much on 2.x that I decided to migrate it myself I'd never go to this page and wouldn't read the compatibility already implemented.

Please do update the wiki.

Hey guys,
I don't want to rush things along, but it's been awhile since an update, and I can not for the life of me find even a test build for sorts for Deluge 2.x.
The downloads page, deluge forum and website are all at v0.5

@Daniel-Marynicz or @dredkin, could either of you share your .egg in the meanwhile?

Pieces-0.6-py3.8.zip

You need this too:

You need install python3-gi and gtk3 bindings probably with command

sudo apt install python3-gi gobject-introspection gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Thank You!
