Strange top level import issue

[lingfish]

Python 2.7.13
syncthing 2.3.1

I have no idea why the interpreter is hitting line 41, but it is:

(syncthing) jason@host:~$ python

>>> from syncthing import Syncthing

  File "/home/jason/venv/syncthing/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syncthing/__init__.py", line 41

Full import:

Appears to be a Python 2 vs 3 thing. When using a 3 virtualenv, it works fine.

@lingfish yeah, Python 3 only. I'd accept pull requests if you want to support Python2 as well.

[lingfish]

Ok, I may have a stab at it.

Would have been useful if your doco clearly stated Python version support, and any code cleared of hints that it did in fact support 2.

@lingfish actually this is a bug, i haven't worked on this library for a long time and it should be version-2 compatible. I will fix it!
