My aim is to require a subset of the tools required by Mozilla to build
Thunderbird - the python scripts in Enigmail were all copied from the
Mozilla build toolchain, and I never modified any of them. If the
Mozilla build tools are migrated to python3, then I'll be happy to copy
them over to Enigmail.

But my knowledge of python is close to zero - I certainly would not be
able to work on moving to python3 in reasonable time.
