[Bug 1123193] [NEW] No python2 support for CommandNotFound anymore

[Данило Шеган]

Public bug reported:

Since 12.10, there is no Python2 library for accessing command-not-found
functionality: if a program was using it, it will stop working after
upgrade to Quantal. An example of such a project is Linaro Image Tools
which relies on CommandNotFound to find packages missing commands are
in.

Solution is either to port code to Python3 (very hard) or simply to keep
providing a python2 package of command-not-found library.

A test case is simple:

  python -c "import CommandNotFound"

I'll be linking a branch (based on lp:ubuntu/quantal/command-not-found)
that introduces python-command-not-found package with Python2 libraries:
I am sure I've done many things wrong in it, and I'd be happy to get any
comments on it.

** Affects: command-not-found (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
