Update to Python 3 and QT5

[illgenr]

I've went through and updated the program for python 3 print statements and made a few tweaks to use QTWidgets where necessary for compatibility with QT5.

Should I submit a pull request to merge the changes?

@illgenr I did my best, doing the same. Personally: Don't ask, simply do: if @in3otd doesn't want to merge, they won't and nobody has any downside from you opening a PR :)

Hi all,

Thanks for the mods, bringing these files up to Python3 and QT5!

Hopefully not an utterly stupid question:
I think I applied your mods to the files correctly, but I'm getting odd errors, that might be connected to something else:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spiki.py", line 251, in writeModule
    fname[0] = fname[0] + '.kicad_mod'
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

-when I try to output the .kicad_mod file.

Any ideas where I should be digging to get to the bottom of this?

system info:
Linux Mint 20.3 x86-64
python points to /usr/bin/python3.8

AFAIK I have all the prerequisites installed, as per the instructions, but there might be something glaringly obvious I'm missing.

Dear @nrrdzilla ,

I've just tried this tool the first time and had the same error. The workaround: store your output file with the .kicad_mod extension, then it works.

Of course this is no fix, but works.

@illgenr THX for the port to Python3 + QT5

@in3otd THX for this tool!
