Plans for python3

[karlbunch]

Are there plans to port to python3 ?

On debian:bullseye you can "pip install z3" but because it's under python3 you are greeted with:

z3 status
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/z3", line 5, in <module>
    from z3.snap import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/z3/snap.py", line 14, in <module>
    from z3.config import get_config
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/z3/config.py", line 1, in <module>
    import ConfigParser
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ConfigParser'

This is due to the renaming of ConfigParser module to configparser, there could be other issues, I'm curious if anyone is planning to scrub z3 for python3 support?

I ran into this issue too. My solution was to install pip for python 2.7 (guide: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-pip-on-ubuntu-20.04/) and then do "pip2 install z3".

I submitted pull request #42 to cover this. Let's hope it gets merged.
