Public bug reported:

The way cc_apt_configure.py writes out the script to fetch GPG keys
breaks when using Python 3.

* There's a constant, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-
init/trunk/view/head:/cloudinit/config/cc_apt_configure.py#L39 that
contains the script.

* In getkeybyid, it's written to a temporary file:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-
init/trunk/view/head:/cloudinit/config/cc_apt_configure.py#L113

Python 3 throws an exception: 'str' does not support the buffer
interface when doing the write.

A very simple example:

import tempfile

fh = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()
TEST_STR = """ HELLO WORLD """
fh.write(TEST_STR)

Will work with 2, but not 3.
