mac always a string under python3

[jlec]

Under python3 I see the following although I have set MACADDRESS_DEFAULT_DIALECT = 'netaddr.mac_eui48'

In [1]: from infrabrowser.models import Unit
In [2]: Unit.objects.first().mac
Out[2]: '207369326246'

Following patch (suggested by 2to3) fixes this issue

Hmm, this is new syntax. let me find a workaround for python 2.x series as well.

Have to use with_metaclass from six or future.utils to maintain backward compatibility.

Thanks @jlec for pointing out this bug.
