Python 3 Compatibility

[rthille]

Any plans to make this compatible with Python3? If it's not a heavy lift, I could probably take it on...

currently doing a py3 conversion of private automation system and willing to help out.

is this error related to lack of python3 support?

Yes: the setup script uses the map function to get a list of C source files, which returns a list in python 2 and a custom iterable in python 3.

This repo does not seem active, interested people could create a fork, address the issues and publish with a different name on PyPI.

pure-cdb has a python-cdn compatibility mode, FWIW.
