Python 2 Support?

[neo-neo1]

Thanks for adding XMLRPC over HTTP support, it's exactly what I needed. However, I'm on Kodi 18.9 Leia (Python 2) due to depending on several crucial addons which do not support Kodi 19. Upon attempting to install your addon I was given an error that it depends on Python 3 only. Would it be possible to add a Python 2 version? Or how about a Kodi Python 2/3 compatibility layer such as six?

I would greatly appreciate this. Thank you in advance!

Hey @neo-neo1,

It's definitely something I can try to add without a definite timeline. This latest version (19.x, versioned after the Kodi version) was a completely rewrite of the old plugin to make it work on the latest Kodi, extra features were just thrown in while I was in the heat of rewriting it!

However, I'll try to backport an 18.x version in the near future. There were a lot of Kodi API changes I took advantage of moving to Matrix, so it's not just Python compatibility work. It might end up being a total rewrite of the rewrite to backport it, so I can't promise anything!

Thank you for the request!
