Python 3 support

[rth]

Thanks for this library!

Just a reminder that most major scientific Python packages have dropped Python 2 support now, so only supporting Python 2 is quite problematic.

Related to #110

There was a WIP attempt in #132 that didn't receive much interest.

Is the Python 3 migration something you expect to happen? Any help needed there?

This is being worked on! Expect to see it in a day or two, it’s just about complete — we are also dropping support for Python 2 and switching completely over to Python 3.

Great to hear that!

On a related subject, are there any plans to use PyO3 or something similar for the Python wrapper to avoid manually setting WELD_HOME env variable at build time?

I'd love to see Python3 support. Happy to give it a try if you want help testing.

[sppalkia]

That would great! Expect a PR in the coming days here. @rth yes, we're eliminating the environment variables required to build it in this patch.

Could we get an update on this? I still see all the docs use python3 atm. I would be happy to update the docs once this issue is resolved.
