AVRO-1788: Remove Obsolete Python < 2.7 Syntax (#683)
> python api differs unnecessarily between python2 and python3
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-1788
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1788
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: python
> Reporter: Alexander Hasha
> Assignee: Michael A. Smith
> Priority: Minor
>
> It is difficult to use the python avro module in projects that maintain
> simultaneous compatibility between python 2 and python 3, because there are
> small differences in the API between the two versions in the module that seem
> unnecessary.
> For example, to parse a schema string in python 2:
> {code}
> from avro.schema import parse
> {code}
> and in python 3:
> {code}
> from avro.schema import Parse
> {code}
> In Python2, DatumReader's constructor has keyword argument "writers_schema",
> and in Python 3 it becomes "writer_schema" (no s).
> Would it be possible to align method names and arguments across the two
> modules?
