Python 3 conversion

Summary

As in, port the entire project to python 3. The "six" package is a thing, may need to look into that.

Resources

From @dbond2 -

  • __future__ imports for print()
  • __future__ imports for absolute_import
  • __future__ imports for unicode_literals
  • __future__ imports for division (not widely applicable, like the other ones)

--

  • unicode() --> str()
  • drop __unicode__() from models for only __str__()

--

  • I do not think that bytestring issues are a problem, usually either by file processing or HttpRequest/HttpResponse objects, or by their specific use as a type
  • exceptions must use as(fairly sure already being done)
  • defining iterator, boolean evaluation, and division methods on objects would need to be changed, but I don't think they're applicable

--

  • install python3-dev
  • requirements and virtualenvironments will need to change
  • look at and upgrade the third-party packages alongside this issue
  • README will need to change accordingly
