Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1382:
------------------------------------

If I 'touch avro/tests/__init__.py then it actually tries to run run_tests.py 
but fails with:
{code}
  File "/home/cutting/src/avro/trunk/lang/py3/avro/tests/run_tests.py", line 
51, in <module>
    from avro.tests.test_datafile_interop import *
  File 
"/home/cutting/src/avro/trunk/lang/py3/avro/tests/test_datafile_interop.py", 
line 39, in <module>
    INTEROP_SCHEMA = GetInteropSchema()
  File 
"/home/cutting/src/avro/trunk/lang/py3/avro/tests/test_datafile_interop.py", 
line 36, in GetInteropSchema
    return schema.Parse(schema_json)
  File "/home/cutting/src/avro/trunk/lang/py3/avro/schema.py", line 1277, in 
Parse
    % (json_string, exn))
avro.schema.SchemaParseException: Error parsing schema from JSON: 
'../../../../share/test/schemas/interop.avsc'. Error message: ValueError('No 
JSON object could be decoded',).

> Hi,
> I'd need to use Avro from Python3, which would require essentially the 
> following changes, which I am happy to contribute:
>  - rewrite except statements according to new syntax
>  - rewrite print statements according to new syntax
>  - basestring becomes str
>  - update some imports (StringIO becomes io.StringIO, httplib becomes 
> http.client)
> This would apparently require branching the python code to maintain a version 
> for python2 and a separate version for python3.
> Any thoughts on how to approach this?
> Thanks!
