ImportError: No module named 'new'



Steps to reproduce:

Install the package for python: pacman -S python-rst2pdf
Then call the command line program: rst2pdf any.rst

Note: The project's Github page (https://github.com/rst2pdf/rst2pdf) clearly indicates that it does not support python3 for now.
So, the `python-rset` should not exists.
