Re:Still, not fully compatible with Python3???

[Vasily Galkin <galkin-vv yandex ru>]

Hi!
Meld 3.17 is a pure python3 application, that expected to be just used with python3 without any conversions 
like 2to3. It doesn't use compatibility packages like "six" and cannot be used with python2.

Meld 3.16.x from the other hand is a pure python2 application. I don't think that it is designed to be 
converted with 2to3, so if it had somehow launched with python3 after such conversion, it may be extremely 
buggy even in common use cases. Meld 3.17 is much better choice for running under python3.
