- Replace print statement with function call
- Replace except ..., ...: syntax with except ... as ...:
- Simplify obsolete try ... except ... code block
- Replace some unicode calls with u-prefixed strings
- Do not use `len(SEQUENCE)` to determine if a sequence is empty
- Replace dictionary creation
- Drop support for GObject static bindings
This commit also includes:
- whitespace / code formatting fixes
- slight syntax related changes: except <exception_name>, e -> except <exception_name> as e
- 3 pointless instructions instances have been rewritten [sorted] (spotted by semi-automatic check)
The unrelated changes shouldn't have any real impact on whipper's behaviour.
