Bug#872989: galternatives: please port to Python3

[Alexandre Detiste]

Thank you,

On my side, I will have a look a this other python3-gi project I'm working on:
https://sources.debian.net/src/game-data-packager/53/runtime/doom2-masterlevels.py/

The tooltip "Default can be changed with "update-alternatives --config doom"
is not much user friendly, I would rather import some galternatives functions,
if this tool is already installed; this would require some API
stability promise on your side :-)

Another option is adding support for command line arguments to galternatives;
where "galternative <alternative>" opens up a screen that let use configure
this one alternative.

Alexandre
