[Python-modules-team] Bug#778601: src:python-statsd: Please support Python 3

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Package: src:python-statsd
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

please consider building a python3 version of this package.

I have prepared patches and will attach them to this bug. The path of least
resistance to add python3 support was to use the pybuild buildsystem. A 
welcome side-effect is the execution of the test-suite during build.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
