Victor,

Thank you for working on this. Please don't give up on this work! I'll be asking others to look at these patches, and I'll try to look, myself, soon.

For the dependencies (pyeclib), we'll get those as we can. The first priority is getting the Swift code, which we control, squared away. Then as the dependencies are able to support py3, we'll have the gate passing and can set it to voting.

--John
