Can't import in DCC software

Created by: mathbou

I'm developing tools on Maya and 3dsMax but I get an error when I import ffmpeg lib. Those two softwares are still on python 2.7 and uses a zipped version of it.

Error: IOError: file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2018\bin\python27.zip\lib2to3\pgen2\pgen.py line 15: 2 #

After digging into the lib it seems the line from past.builtins import basestring is causing the problem. I made a try by removing every occurrences of it and it looks like it works.
