[PATCH evolve-ext v2] py3: broad pass for python3 compatibility

This patch don't apply anymore :-/ It is also very invasive and will be 
painful for all other contributors.

Do you think we could get to a point where no manual tweaking is needed 
? (could be simply adding dedicated comment to line that need to be 
skipped). If we have a script only approach we could use the 
format-source extensions for that.
