This PR fixes #47 by making the code genuinely py2.7 and 3.5 compatible, rather than relying upon 2to3 conversions to be applied on-the-fly during installation. Most changes are innocuous, though I'll admit that this is a bit yucky:
try:
basestring #- exists in py2
except NameError:
basestring = str #- for py3
I set use_2to3=False in setup.py so that any other non-py3 compatible changes will trigger a test failure. If that becomes problematic we could revert to use_2to3=True, but in the meantime it would be handy to have the code natively be py3.5 compatible.
