Python2 maintenance period expires after 2020: any plans to port mysql-utilities to Python3?

[realnickel]

Clocks are ticking: https://pythonclock.org
Many distros are dropping Python2 support.

mysql-utilities are still an optional part of mysql-workbench:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-utilities-1.5-en/mysql-utils-intro-intro.html

and they lack python3 support out of the box...

Completely agree: mysql-utilities are super-useful, but needs to be ported to python3.
I forked mysql-utilities to see if I could easily port to python3; used an auto-upgrade tool,
and some bug-hunting, got a tiny bit working in python3.

Do you consider upstreaming your changes (creating a PR)?

@zijiwork do you have any links to your reports?
