Patch: Python 3.x support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hiho..  I wanted to use this as a library in a Python 3.x application, so I 
went ahead and made the necessary modifications to make it run under both 2.x 
and 3.x (patch is attached)

It passes all the provided tests, and works nicely for my project with the 
patch applied, but I do note that one of the things I had to fiddle with a bit 
is the different way that file IO is handled (particularly with respect to 
newlines) in Py3.  I think the changes I made should result in similar behavior 
in both versions, but I haven't done really extensive testing...

Thanks for the contribution. It is good to know that python-patch is used in 
real projects. Feel free to submit a link when your project is released for a 
list of adoptions.

As for the patch - it looks good, but porting myself to Python 3 is on TODO 
list, so I am not yet ready to estimate the impact. Test suite unfortunately 
doesn't cover all use cases - only the major ones, so I can't safely accept 
them as enough for commit.

Right now my focus is on improving parser to be more extensible and staying to 
be non-recursive at the same time. This will allow to parse Git and HG patches, 
but also may change some essential things, so until this work is finished I'd 
refrain from porting things to Python 3k. But Py3k will happen sooner or later 
for sure, so your effort won't go unnoticed.

I didn't do the test stuff though because I don't even use that :)

Thanks for the patch. String unicoding features of Python 3 are killing me, but 
it certainly becomes easier to understand what works and what's not with this 
patch. No promises when I integrate it yet. I am afraid the API isn't ready, so 
to avoid breaking things in one version, then in another, I need to build up 
the motivation to cover change with tests.

Is this usable at all? Thanks.

No, unfortunately I run out of cash and have to spend my time on other activities.
