Python 3 compatibility

[bobslee]

The library is development on Python 2.7

Python 3.3 (and later) fails with:

• Import problems
• String/Bytes coding errors

[ristecona]

are you going to release a python3 compatible version? thanks

[bobslee]

Hi @dochse, do you have any plans or need to port this library to Python 3 ?

[ristecona]

i am willing to help if needed @bobslee

[bobslee]

@ristecona I assume PR #18 is yours?
I already reviewed with minor comments.
Did you ran the unittests?

[ristecona]

getting import errors when running test_common.py
SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import

[ristecona]

hey guys, how much time do you think this whole migration would take? even paid help is an option too

Just send you a mail. Let's discuss by mail (for now).
