Thanks Douglas for checking this out.  

Noel, David et al,

It would be great if all the py3 stuff could be combined, cross-
reviewed by those involved and put in a single pull request.  I'll then
carve out some time to review it (say with Douglas).

I/we can do that more effectively if I have the patches in order,
allowing us to just work down the list and send it off to autobuild in
chunks knowing we won't have to re-work or re-juggle subsequent
patches.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
