My apologies, I did not mean to make it sound like Stein did not support
python 3. My issues were not necessarily bugs. It was more
dependency issues I was working through and most of that is because I
do not use typical deployment methods like TrippleO, Kolla-ansible, etc. as
we build/maintain our own deployment tool. I just didn't have the time to
work through them and ended up reverting due to time constraints.
