Supporting both python 2.7 and version 3 is hard when the opencv module dropped python 2 support.
Commits like:
lgv2018@fef4448 trying to fix #1468
fixed python 2 support, but broke python 3 support as mentioned in #1417 .
Some (LTS) distro's still defaults to python 2. @Harvie wanted to keep support for python 2.
To keep supporting both python versions conditional formatting is needed.
Python 2.7 will be pointed to the last supported openCV version. (4.2.0.32)
Python 3 will be pointed to install the recent opencv version.
Implements some of the code as discussed in pull request #1454
