python3 compatibility?

[sabernar]

Any chance that locust can be made python3 compatible?

Locust relies on gevent, which currently does not support Python 3. Therefore it's not something we could do before that has been solved.

Here's the python 3 issue for gevent: gevent/gevent#38

Looks like gevent Python3 issue has just got resolved (13.07.2015). Does it get locust Python3 compatibility closer? Can you reopen this ticket?

few comments:

I've ported many codebases from Python2->Python3. I highly recommend keeping a single codebase that runs under 2 and 3, rather than maintaining a separate Python 3 port.

six is a great library that helps with compatibility and porting. Highly recommended.

Also add tox for local testing across Python versions.

(just my $.02)

I'd love to see locust run under py3, and I can help porting where needed.
