python 3 port

[Chad Whitacre]

Dan,

I'm personally not a fan of depending on 2to3 or 3to2 at installation
time.  Call it paranoia.  Forking the project is also un-fun.  I much
prefer to maintain a single project that's compatible with 2.6 through
3.2+, which is what I've started to do in my `py3k-compat` branch,
although I'm still getting familiar with the codebase and don't
consider the work to be especially merge-worthy.

Cool. Sounds like we're on the same page. :-)
