WIP is here: https://github.com/eriol/dput-ng/tree/py3-port 

I have already tested and fixed the only Python 3 incompatibility[¹]
but I need a clarification: you are talking about swap dput to use
Python 3, this mean can I simply ship Python 3 versions of dcut,
dirt and dput inside package dput-ng? I'm asking because right now
I build python-dput both for Python 2 and Python 3.
At first I tought we need to ship both Python 2 and Python 3 versions,
but reading again the above sentence made me think I'm probably
misunderstanding.

So, to recap, I see the following scenarios:
1) build only Python 3 version;
2) build both Python 2 and Python 3 (including scripts):
   In this case, should I have to put dcut3, dirt3, dput3
   inside dput-ng package and make it depends on both
   Python 2 and Python 3?
3) build python-dput and python3-dput packages but ship only
   Python 3 version of dcut, dirt and dput inside dput-ng
   package.

I'm for scenario 1: it seems the right thing to do. I really don't
like scripts ending with '3', but if we have to ship both versions
(Python 2 and Python 3) I don't see any other possible option
compared to scenario 2.
Scenario 3 seems not useful since python-dput dependants is only
dput-ng.

What do you think/suggest?

Many thanks!

Kind regards,
