AndroidViewClient for Python ≥3.6

This is a Python 3.6 compatible fork of the original dtmilano's AndroidViewClient repository.

Why ≥3.6 instead of ≥ 3?

I share my opinion with Kenneth Reitz's (quoted on The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python) and believe that Python 3 is the future. Moreover, Python versions 3.5 and 3.6 added many useful features to the language which I like and use frequently.

I try to keep my code as PEP compatible, organized and clean as possible - thanks to PyCharm IDE for making all of this possible while making my life easier.

AndroidViewClient was originally conceived as an extension to monkeyrunner but lately evolved as a pure python tool that automates or simplifies test script creation. It is a test framework for Android applications that:

• Automates driving Android applications
• Generates re-usable scripts
• Provides view-based device independent UI interaction
• Uses 'logical' screen comparison (UI Automator Hierarchy based) over image comparison (Avoiding extraneous detail issues, such as time or data changes)
• Supports running on multiple devices
• Provides simple control for high level operations like language change and activity start
• Supports all Android APIs
• Is written in python

Thanks to all who made it possible.
