Drop python in favor of Windows 7(and earlier) compatibility #753

Install and run on Win7, even x86 or x64. Enjoy startup crash because python 3.9 failure because there is no api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll in Windows 7

Such a simple software muzz run on as many OSes, as possible and never limit compatibility by used third-party components(it's definitely possible to issue SQL-requests w/o pythons, etc.)

Windows 7 is EOL (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020-b75d4580-2cc7-895a-2c9c-1466d9a53962), so we can't guarantee that newer versions of RedNotebook will run on it. But older versions should run even on Windows 7.
