[Eric] Eric5 on Python2!

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello Tobias,

that looks like a good idea. However, before I apply the changeset I would 
like to do a thorough code review to understand your changes and ask back 
about parts I need more info. That will not happen for eric 5.3 line of 
development, which I hope to finalize by years end (still two tasks to 
implement).

Your changes could be the ones to start eric 5.4 development with. Further 
communication will be done via direct email.

Regards,
Detlev
