The main feature of PyPDF2 is that is supports Python 3, what the old
pyPdf does not. So we need Python 3.

The test suite does not fail in the sense that it shows bugs, but in a
way that shows the test suite was not adopted to work with Python 3. The
test-suite is negligible anyway.  I'll update the comment.
