Fair enough Philip.  I will do some more research and add the results of that 
research to IMPALA-3343 at a minimum.  I don't currently have an impala 
development environment configured, along with test case execution, and I have 
enough other project work going on that I don't know if I really have the time 
to do that incremental infrastructure building.  I've done enough research to 
find some tools to help with Python 2 to 3 conversions, and see that there will 
be at least a little bit more than print statements.

What I know I can do is start modifying my local copy of the file and see if I 
can get impala-shell working again for myself, and share the results of that 
research / exploration.

Thanks

    I'm not aware of anyone having tried it, so I don't think we know. I'd also
    check in on Thrift's support for Python3. That seems like the most likely
    library. You can certainly give removing print a shot!
