twistedchecker installation fails with Python3

[ghost]

I tried installing with Python3 but got various warnings and errors before it eventually failed.

Given that its a brand new tool with no backwards compatibility requirements, it would be nice if it worked on Python3 as soon as possible.

Here are some of the errors (I've attached the full install log)

  File "/home/richard/.virtualenvs/twistedchecker3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/twistedchecker/core/runner.py", line 304

I tried porting twistedchecker on Python3.3 but I got stuck since the following twisted depenencies are not yet ported to python 3 ... as of Twisted-14.0.0pre2

• twisted.python.filepath

Also pylint 0.26.0 is not ported on python 3.3 ... only pylint 1.0 and newer support python 3.3

... one task is to update twistedchecker to use latest pylint #65

My work in progress is here https://github.com/chevah/twistedchecker/tree/58-python-3.3

twistedchecker works with Python 3.4 and Python 3.5
