Drop Python 2 support about circuits

[spaceone]

@ri0t if you have a starting point i would like to see. Maybe I can invest a weekend to migrate to async/await syntax.

I will upload something in the next few days.

I started to work on it in the branch async: https://github.com/circuits/circuits/compare/async?expand=1

Holding to the EOL dates, would you drop for 3.5 and before as well?

I am still aware of Python 3.5 systems. Maybe I will wait a litte bit longer, e.g. one year. But it depends on which features we will use in the near future and how active the development is.

As this is the single thing i could find that refers to coroutines with async and await, i'd like to know and assist more - if possible.

I'm currently trying to integrate a few asyncio-libraries (for xmpp and matrix) but they both don't work well/at all.

Maybe it's me and how i tried at getting them running - maybe it's circuits. I can try to prepare a gist or something, if required.

@jhulten the py3.5 system I was aware of is now using py3.7.

That looks quite... interesting! The idea being "just salt everything with async and off you go"..? Gotta test that, when i find time.

No, that's work in progress. There is at least one bug in the generate_events functions. It's the minimal starting point. The hello world example works.
