Re: [Proposal] merge optional Python3 support

 

I've done some basic tests on Mac with current packaging and doesn't seem
to break anything.  Tested footprint generation and a couple of basic
scripts.  I like the idea of merging once we open the v6 feature window,
provided we are relatively confident that we can get v6 out before 2020.
If there's wiggle room there, it would make sense to push this into v5.1
