python23

[Shawn J. Goff]

qmi-codegen produces lots of python2/3 problems like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
     message = Message(object_dictionary, common_objects_dictionary)
   File "../../build-aux/qmi-codegen/qmi-codegen", line 97, in <module>

I have libqmi as a package in an automated build system, and this is 
causing problems. I either have to make a custom build script that 
creates a python->python2 symlink and modifies PATH for that package or 
add a patch that specifies "python2" instead of "python" for the 
interpreter in all the .py files. It looks like that codegen is some 
standard thing; I'd like to find out if the upstream has been made 
compatible with python3 and pull it into libqmi, but it looks like every 
project just copies it in to their source and modifies it, so I can't 
find the original source for this codegen stuff. Can anyone point me to it?

Would you be interested in accepting a patch with an updated codegen if 
it's available? If not, would you want a patch that changes the "#!" to 
point to python2 instead of python? I'm not sure that last solution is a 
good solution; I don't know if everywhere you want to support has a 
python2 symlink.
