The conversion to python3 is nearing completion, with 94 individual
commits encompassing 3124 changed lines.  The test suite tests clean,
and the first run of the test-crawler revealed only one needed code
change.

Planning of deployment comes next; this will need to consider how to
handle the mailarchive, Trac wikis, and the IAOC website, which currently
are deployed with Apache mod_wsgi and will have to be containerized or
aligned with the Python3 version used for the datatracker.

Some hurdles remain:  Trac is not available in a Python 3 version yet,
which means that the wiki access maintenance command, which updates
wiki permissions according to WG and RG chair changes, still need to
run under Python2.7.  This can be handled with parallel py27 and py37
deployment, but raises the question of whether to run the last Python2
release for wiki maintenance going forward, or put additional work into
the Python3 conversion in order to make it run under both Python 2 and 3.
