3D tracking tutorial: problem loading zipfile stack

[nkeim]

When I launch the 3D tracking example in Binder, running the 2nd cell (the one that loads the image stack) raises

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a Python 3 issue. I discovered the same thing when overhauling trackpy-examples in the py3 env. (Happily, no other notebooks revealed py3 issues in our packages.) I fixed it here: soft-matter/pims#199 but the last release of pims doesn't have the fix.

Seems like we need slicerator and pims releases pretty soon. Any other blockers?

What do you mean by blockers?

I wanted to have a good look at plot_to_frame and circumvent PIL mainly
to increase performance and also to solve the 3.0.0 incompatibility issue.

I meant issues/PRs to close before we tag a bug-fix release. I'm fine waiting for plot_to_frame to be ready.
