Hi Matthias,

I did preliminary work on this (pushed on salsa at ). I didn't do the initial
packaging and am not that knowledgeable on python stuff, and upstream is not
that responsive these days, so I have no clue if it's possible and how to
build both python-plist and python3-plist.

So what I did is completely drop python-plist and move to python3-plist. The
only reverse dependency of python-plist is python-imobiledevice which I will
handle separately.

Obviously there might be people using python-plist and python-imobiledevice
directly in python scripts and they'll have to migrate them to python3, which
is not perfect, but I don't have other ideas for now.

I'll try to update the whole istuff stack at once in the following days/weeks.

Regards,
