Mike Swanson 6eef9be73a use python3 only for building
Python 2 is very near end-of-life, and Python3-compatible changes to a
few scripts introduced compatibility problems with 2.7 again.  It went
unnoticed for me since my system symlinks "python" to "python3", but
it broke the build on systems where that symlink is still python2.  At
this point in time, I feel it is worth targetting modern Python and
forgetting about 2.7.

README

This is the bootstrap WAD builder.

Deutex requires an IWAD to build wads and will refuse to build a WAD if
an IWAD is not provided. The script here creates a minimal IWAD file that
contains all the lumps deutex needs: PLAYPAL (the freedoom PLAYPAL),
an empty TEXTURE1 lump and a PNAMES lump with one lump in (deutex needs
PNAMES lumps to have at least one entry)

Because deutex includes all textures from the parent iwad when building
WADs, it is important that the bootstrap wad has as few textures as
possible.
