It's faster than the pairwise sequence algorithms we have in
OpenStructure. However, the main reason to check out another solution
is the fact that OpenStructure may return suboptimal alignment
results. This is a result of how the dynamic programming table is built.
If for a certain cell in the dynamic programming table a match state and
insertion state score equally, match is preferred. There is a chance
that we would get a better score later on if we would stick with the
insertion state (gap open penalties vs. gap extension penalties).
Not sure if this will be fixed in the near future.

Numpy support in C++ enabled features at two points:
Efficient way of setting positions in entity handles or setting meshes
in gfx.PrimList.

Support for newer numpy versions would've required an effort to implement.
As far as I know, no one uses these features (fingers crossed) so let's just
dump numpy alltogether to simplify the build system.

Compilation was broken for years when IMG has been disabled.
IMG is now always built.

CMake now takes care of extracting the major, minor and patch version of Python

You might have to adapt CMake flags when building OpenStructure to variables specified here:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindPython.html

SCHWED-4612: Set OpenGL GL preferences, new Python module name for sip in check if sip is installed.

This commit doesn't make OpenStructure work with Python 3. The goal of this
commit was to perform an automated port of the Python code and make it compile.
The performed steps:

- Edited CMakeLists.txt to search for Python with 3.6 as min version 3.6 is the
  Python version shipped by default with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Add version 3.6 to cmake_support/FindPython.cmake
- Adapt setup_boost macro in cmake_support/OST.cmake to prefer versioned
  libraries and not first check for boost_python.so. In the example of
  Ubuntu 18.04, libboost_python.so is specific for Python 2 but
  libboost_python3.so is the one we want.
- apply the following command: 2to3-2.7 -n -w <OST_DIR>
- adapt base/pymod/wrap_base.cc, gui/pymod/wrap_gui.cc and
  gui/pymod/export_message_widget.cc as PyString functionalities do not exist
  anymore in the Python 3 interpreter (replaced by PyUnicode)
- adapt gui/src/python_shell/python_interpreter_worker.hh to resolve issue
  discussed in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23068700/embedding-python3-in-qt-5
  Long story short: Qt does a typedef for "slots" which causes trouble with
  other headers that are pulled in from the Python interpreter

hasn't been used/tested for years

The reason is that we want to profit from latest security updates and
therefore not use a copy of the SQLite3 source code that becomes outdated.

ToDo: test on different Linux distributions / bc2 and adapt compile
instructions accordingly, also container recipes must be adapted.
