[jira] [Created] (AVRO-1382) Support for python3

Christophe Taton created AVRO-1382:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Support for python3
                 Key: AVRO-1382
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1382
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: python
    Affects Versions: 1.7.5
            Reporter: Christophe Taton


Hi,
I'd need to use Avro from Python3, which would require essentially the following changes, which I am happy to contribute:
 - rewrite except statements according to new syntax
 - rewrite print statements according to new syntax
 - basestring becomes str
 - update some imports (StringIO becomes io.StringIO, httplib becomes http.client)

This would apparently require branching the python code to maintain a version for python2 and a separate version for python3.

Any thoughts on how to approach this?
Thanks!
