Hello,
I'm definitely interested on working on this. Would you prefer to have a separate branch for Python 3, or to have the existing codebase compatible with Python 2 and 3?

[joshthecoder]

I would prefer a single code base as maintaining multiple branches would be a pain.
Ideally it should work on 2.6/2.7/3.x

[puzzlet]

3.3 it is. Otherwise u'' literals would result a syntax error.

Here I've made a quick port to run on Python 3.3: puzzlet@f67e574 which should work on 2.6/2.7 too.

This would be AWESOME! Also with v1.1 support would be amazing. :)

Hi @Aaron1011 and @joshthecoder what's the status of Py3k support? It seems @puzzlet 's patch can work on both version (2.6, 2.7 and 3.3, 3.4). Can we merge it?

[vitawasalreadytaken]

I had to make a few small changes to @puzzlet's patch to get it working (https://github.com/ze-phyr-us/tweepy/commit/4d6a3c41aee80effbc9b8e256877678ce1641328). In Python 3, ('x' in [b'x']) == False and so in places like OAuthToken.from_string Tweepy couldn't find params in parsed query strings.

However, all tests are still broken in this branch and need porting, too.

[Aaron1011]

Sorry for the delay, everyone. I'm taking a look at it now, and I'll try to fix the failing tests.

I'm discovering these small bugs as I'm trying to use Tweepy in a real Python 3.4 project. Today it's cursor iterators :-) https://github.com/ze-phyr-us/tweepy/commit/889cd6234059989f751090c8aa63a328a4741f2d

I cloned git, and ran the install, and when I run script I'm getting an error on python 3.4 and windows. (I'm a beginner)
"Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly"

[joshthecoder]

Tweepy 3.0 should now have Python 3 support.
