Python 2.7 EOL is arriving on 2020-01-01: https://pythonclock.org/
This will allow us to use Python 3 only libraries, like python-barcode,
which can maintain a reduced, simpler codebase, due to only one version
to support.
Closes#371.

This was tested on ZJ-5890 with success. By default centering is
deactivated for backward compatibility. Trying to center a QR code in
native mode will raise an exception as we do not know ATM if the native
rendering is centered by default or not.
* Added basic tests for center feature
* Check image size before centering
* Example Weather forecast script
Used Adafruits example as base and adapted it for python-escpos
Weather icons taken from

* Weather Icons from Adam Whitcroft

* update authors
* Minor improvements
* Weather Script Debugged
Added one more Icon
Attributed Icons in readme.md
changed folder structure
* Change formatting
* Fixed pathing to graphics issue
* fixed image size
* autopep8 to clean up the code
* Ensure QR codes have a border large enough
(The QR code spec requires a border at least 4*box_size thick but we can't
just set border=16 because that results in a QR code more than 255px tall
and I'm not yet ready to use fullimage() as a backend for it)
This fix was originally commited by Stephan Sokolow on 2014-05-22
* Let the user print stuff using qr example
* fix tests
Actually the hardware barcode implementation is very specific and not
generic enough for just adding a `soft_render=True` argument to it. This
is a first work that can be improved with other commits, maybe for
merging this method in the `barcode` method after some cleanup.
The width, height and text_distance were set using empiric
print-and-retry tests so that the generated barcode looks nice to the
eye (and to the eye of an Android scanner tool.
!WARNING! Printing a barcode that is too large in width will result in
the printer to go crazy trying to print an image that is too large for
it. This may be fixed by raising an exception in the `image` method.
