[Slackbuilds-users] Support for Python 3 in python-pillow?

I did not intend on adding python 3 support to my python-pillow
SlackBuild.  This SlackBuild is a dependency of my mitmproxy
SlackBuild.  Another dependency that needs to be updated is urwid,
which exists in Slackware.  I am not able to submit mitmproxy due to
urwid being too outdated in 14.1.  I cannot test in -current either
because I need version urwid 1.3.1 and only 1.3.0 is available.  None
of this requires python 3.

I discussed with one of the SBo admins that prior to creating my
python-pillow SlackBuild that it would be removed once 14.2 was
released.  I would not recommend relying on my python-pillow package
for this reason.  Anyway, it exists -current and will be apart of
Slackware in the future.  So track the version in -current rather than
mine.

If you really need python 3 support for Pillow, then you should create
a separate python3-pillow SlackBuild.
