Python 3 Compatibility

[avorio]

Hello!

I would like to use Sickle in a Python 3 environment. Is there any interest from somebody else in porting it? Has this been considered before?

Many thanks.

I second the previous request :-) Thank you.

FWIW, converting with 2to3 and adjusting my code to use the python 3 way of dealing with utf-8 worked for me. I haven't even tried running the coverage tests, but will, if I find time, clean up the sickle code to retain backwards compatibility and submit a pull request.

@grischard That would be fantastic! Have you had any chance to look into this?
