very cool!

I don't see why we should keep compability with python 2, instead of just 
moving to python 3. (At least long term. To ease transition and merging of 
bits it might be clever to start with some patches with work for both. Dunno 
really.)

The only requirement is that piuparts keeps working with stuff in Debian 
stable, as this is what's running on piuparts.debian.org.

why not use them in the test target instead? seems better to me.

no idea, really.

TBH, I'm not really knowledgable about python3 at all, so I cannot comment on 
many of the changes. Luckily there are more piuparts developers than me and 
I'd also trust stuff signed by Paul T. But so it would be really good to split 
patches as much as sensible (so I can more quickly merge "easy" commits) and 
maybe it would be proper to use (an) extra branch(s) for (parts(?)) of the 
python3 transition too.

(develop is where all the development takes place and which is run 99% of the 
time on piuparts.d.o - master always at a released stage.)


cheers,
	Holger
