Update to Python 3

[manuel-wingtra]

I was wondering if ESPEC is planning to update this library to python 3 since python 2 will reach its end of life on the 01.01.2020. We as a customer of ESPEC would be very happy if the software interface of our Chamber could stay up to date. I'm looking forward to your answer.

We use this library internally on a project that is still on using python 2.7 and is currently frozen pending a new release. After that release we plan on looking into adding python 3 support.

A pull request for adding python3 support exists. We have not had time to test it however.

I also need python3 compatibility. It should be straightforward to make this library compatible with both python3 and python2, possibly completely automated using tools like https://portingguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools.html#python-modernize. There should be no need to break your 2.7 application.
