Re: pynfs python 3 flag day

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>]

I've pushed the python 3 changes to the master branch, so pynfs now
*only* works with python 3:

	git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/pynfs.git

This works for me, but, as I've said, some of the functionality that I
don't use is probably broken.  Apologies--let me know if you run across
anything.

The last hold-up was the gssapi code.  But it turns out pynfs gssapi has
been broken for a while.  So, I'm still working on it, but I couldn't
see any reason to hold back the python 3 changes for it.

--b.


J. Bruce Fields (21):
      st_delegations: don't reimplement join()
      Fix module imports for python 3

      python3: RPCClient.ipaddress should be bytes
      python3: tag should be bytes
      NFS4Client.create_obj() should expect bytes
