I can't speak to the logic of the code, but it looks like it should work
under Python 2 and 3. A couple things to think about:
1. You cannot count on the user having the shim 'six', although it is
becoming increasingly common. Many python installations include it by
default. In any case, as you experienced, it's a simple install.
2. In many places you have something like "m =
ProcManager.TS.search(str(line))". I assume you needed the str() to
convert what would otherwise be a byte-string under Python 3 into a true
string so it can be used in a regular expression. However, by default, that
conversion is done using the ASCII codec. If "line" has something other
than ASCII in it, an exception will be raised. If that's a possibility, you
should use the "decode" function instead: "m =
ProcManager.TS.search(line.decode('utf-8'))".
