Bug Description

The short of it is that python2 will be End-Of-Life in 2020, which, given Long-Term-Support release cycles, is not so far off, really...

We really want to do that but the problem is that epoptes uses twisted, parts of which have not been ported to python3 yet (e.g. twisted.protocols.amp which we use). So, I guess that we'll have to wait until twisted, and specifically the parts of it that epoptes uses, officially supports python3.

Looks like the python3 support for twisted is nearly finished, and there is a python3-twisted 16.x package in Debian stretch; not sure if that version has sufficient support for epoptes just yet.
