Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The game doesn't work.

  All levels in krank are imported as python modules and all game
  screens (menus, settings, actual game stages) are 'levels'. Deprecated
  'imp' is used in Level.py, but in "try - except" statement, so the
  error emerges in other place.

  The solution is to use 'importlib' instead of 'imp'.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Run the game and it will crash after a few moments or not.

  Also in /usr/lib/krank/Main.py you could try to select different levels and try to load them directrly in debug mode
  {{{
  k.debug    = 0
  startlevel = k.debug and 24
  }}}

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Since the problem is in module that loads all the levels - some levels
  may not load (in debug mode some game logic is missing and it is hard
  to test all of them "the right way").

  [ Other Info ]

  Showing game window for a few seconds and then exits and prints in
  terminal

  {{{
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/krank/Main.py", line 97, in <module>
      k.screen.blit(k.world.image, k.screen.get)rect())
  TypeError: argument 1 must be pygame.surface.Surface, not None
  }}}

  Long story short - it is because "imp" module is deprecated.

  I've created .patch file, but don't know what I shoud do next.
