This PR adds python3 compatibility for gen_tzinfo.py and gen_tests.py, whilst maintaining existing python2 support.
Some distributions (fedora) are planning to default
/usr/bin/python
to python3. Other base runtimes (freedesktop-sdk) plan to deprecate python2 completely, meaning that building pytz against this runtime will not be possible.We add an additional command to the travis script, and enabling the
PYTHON
make variable to be user-configurable, to allow CI to test for python3 build compatibility.
