This is a long term goal, but currently, Docutils requires conversion with
2to3 during installation to run with Py 3.

This will become easier once we drop supporting Python 2.6 and older 3.x
versions after the 0.15 release.

If you are not put off by the large changes, go ahead now. Otherwise add the
change to the Python-2 version and run the tests on both.

I do the Python 3 tests with

  # convert with 2to3:
  
  cd ~/Code/Python/docutils/docutils
  python3 setup.py build || exit $?
  
  # and run the tests there::
  
  python3.5 test3/alltests.py || exit $?
