Should it work with Python 3 ? or: dict object has no attribute 'replace'

[Humphreybas]

Hi, In your introduction I can't find the compatibility with python 3. Should it work? I tried it out but got an error, I am not sure though if the error is related at all:

I find it installs without complaint via package manager pip3 into Python3 lib location but does not work with at least Python 3.4 I am working with. If it does not work with Python3 it should be blocked from the pip3 repository if this is at all possible. I will take a crack at fixing the code if I get a chance but not sure how to maintain a codebase which can happily run on 2.x and 3.x without splitting.

I am getting the following exceptions which are typical Python 2->3 migration issues:

TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API
Exception ignored in: <bound method KISS.__del__ of <kiss.classes.KISS object at 0xb730628c>>
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'socket' object has no attribute 'isOpen'

@Humphreybas Same error is present when running on Python 2.7

@schmandt @ve7mjc I've made a PR #16 for that - it's not related to python 2-3 compatibility

Ok thanks
