Luma.Core Dropped Support for Python 2

[jfoot]

Describe the bug
The Luma.Core, Luma.OLED and Luma.Emulator Library has now dropped support for Python 2. I must decide if I shall upgrade the programs to Python 3 and investigate their performance metrics. Or update the website instructions to work for Python 2 instead.

Work Around
Instead of the command “sudo -H pip install –upgrade luma.oled” and “sudo pip install luma.emulator”, please can your write the following lines:

sudo pip install luma.core==1.13.0
sudo pip install luma.oled==3.4.0
sudo pip install luma.emulator==1.2.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Try to install the libraries and set-up a fresh pi as of November 2020.

Expected behaviour

1. The libraries all install correctly for Python 2

Screenshots or Error Trace
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Program information:

• Pi Type Pi Zero WH
• Program All
• Version NA

Additional context
I plan on fixing this the weekend of the 19th of December.

All programs have been updated to Python 3, further testing is needed to check it's performance and stability. The website and documentation will need updating to reflect the changes.
