Hi,

Duplicity itself is not fully Python 3 compatible [1] (there's multiple
instances of "print" as command and all the unicode vs bytes string
handling needs resolving to allow woeking unicode filename support), so
simply patching setup.py to prevent a syntax error under Python 3 seems
somewhat bogus.

There has been work upstream [2] with regards to fully supporting Python
3 with Duplicity, but this is taking place in a developer branch [3] and
work appears to have stalled.

Therefore, I think it would be wise to revert this commit and I'll
modify the Makefile to prevent usage with > py27.

Kind regards,

Jase.
