All these patches just make python2 module work.

Should we clarify that we do not support python2? If yes, we could clean 
up them.

In this case, if we do not support python2 more-itertools, we should also

clean up these python2 recipes (python-pytest,python-pluggy,python-zipp)

that runtime depends on more-itertools.


As above upstream commits [1] said, the old version 5.0.0 is the last 
version

to support python2. Two choice: going backwards or cleaning up, it is 
impossible

to patch latest more-itertools to support python2
