Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1382:
------------------------------------

One more thing to update relevant to releases are the publishing instructions for PyPi.  These are in:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Release#HowToRelease-Publishing

We need to add instructions here for publishing the Python 3 release artifacts.

> Hi,
> I'd need to use Avro from Python3, which would require essentially the following changes, which I am happy to contribute:
>  - rewrite except statements according to new syntax
>  - rewrite print statements according to new syntax
>  - basestring becomes str
>  - update some imports (StringIO becomes io.StringIO, httplib becomes http.client)
> This would apparently require branching the python code to maintain a version for python2 and a separate version for python3.
> Any thoughts on how to approach this?
> Thanks!
