Support for Python 3.x

Currently skdata is not working with 2to3: installing from pip3 install skdata will get an error:

RefactoringTool: Can't open /tmp/pip_build_root/skdata/build/py3k: [Errno 2]
No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip_build_root/skdata/build/py3k'

+1 Update: checking out the repo and doing a python setup.py install does work in python 3.

Yes, it works. But, why isn't it yet woking by pip3?

I'm seeing a similar problem, skdata won't pip install with python3. Here's my error output:

I cannot use setup.py in windows to install skdata:

I was able to successfully install skdata with python 3 by checking-out the repo and placing the /skdata/skdata/ directory in the /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ directory.

When using skdata for a neural network model that recognizes MNIST digits, a few compatability changes had to be made including adding from urllib.request import urlopen to /MNIST/dataset.py and correcting print statements for python3 in both dataset.py and base.py

edit: I have submitted a pull-request to integrate the print statement updates
