> 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!
