Why not just stop building this for python2? 2 is dead anyway

Test failures happen mostly because cli test runner refers to executable simply as python, regardless of what version it was invoked with. So when running python2 setup.py test environment and dependencies are set up for Python 2, but the Python 3 interpreter is invoked instead and the dependency resolution fails.

Also there seems to be an issue with Unicode output when using Python 2.

Below is the patch that fixes both problems and allows the package to build successfully for both python versions.

I'm also getting test failures, but only with python2. Hence a possible workaround is to only build the python3 variant, if you don't need the python2 one.

Anyone getting test failures on this? I get 6 failures seemingly related to default language.

@aucunhenac, I've changed the package, so that the binary for python2 gets renamed to num2words2. That should prevent the error.

When i try update, report this message. I have only one package installed. I tried today:
