inkscape: Make python requirement optional

Port: inkscape inkscape-devel

Description

Is it possible to remove the hard coded dependency on python27? I use python35 and would like the option to use it instead of python27 when installing inkscape-devel so I don't have 2 python versions installed. Maybe it can be moved into a variant? I personally do not need the ability to control inkscape with python.

The dependency on py27-lxml, py27-numpy are requirements of a number of python based plugins/extensions that come with inkscape and implement key features. Currently these modules have not yet been ported to python3 and there's no real schedule to do so. This came up not too long ago on the inkscape list and the reply was that it would happen when someone volunteered to do the porting (can't find the reference right now). No volunteers as yet. Most developers are interested in new design features, geometry issues, etc and python2 works fine for them.

So python27 for now. Sorry. Suggest you give them another nudge on their mailing list. I'll leave this ticket open as a reminder.
