Python dependency

[vliedel]

Hi, I tried installing minecraft overviewer on ubuntu 20.04 (which has python 3.8 by default), but that failed due to the python dependency:

$ apt depends minecraft-overviewer 
minecraft-overviewer
  Depends: python3 (<< 3.6)
  Depends: python3 (>= 3.5~)
  Depends: <python3:any> (>= 3.3.2-2~)
    python3:i386
    python3
  Depends: python3-pil
  Depends: python3-numpy
  Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4)

Is this because it doesn't work on python 3.8, or because you didn't test it yet?

Building and running from source works fine for me at least.

We need to add builds for each separate distro release, you cannot use a prebuilt version of a different python release because the python ABI is not stable across versions like that.

Overviewer will always work with the latest version of Python from source, because that is what I develop with, not whatever ancient release the Deboids ship.
