PiClock/dev branch is for PiClock² Following the general direction of #54, the first step is to migrate to Python3 and PyQt5.

In theory this step should be pretty quick and easy. Famous last words.

I've ported only the clock portion of PiClock to Python3 & PyQt5. Docs have been updated as well. NeoPixel, and temperature server are still in Python2.7

Commit: a76353d

To prove things work, I pulled my original PiClock hardware from the wall, made a new Jessie SD card and stepped through the instructions. Everything came up fine running Python3/PyQt5. This is my original Raspberry Pi that started this whole project back in 2013. http://n0bel.net/v1/index.php/projects/raspberry-pi-clock/8-raspberry-pi-clock-how-to-waste-a-saturday-afternoon

CPU % is for the clock is still between 25% and 30%, and another 5-6% for the NeoPixel (it drives color changes about 10fps) And this running on an original Pi model B (you know the one with the 26 pin gpio)

I'm pretty happy with how well this step went.
