Use of long causes issues with newer python versions

[DrewParallel]

I'm using python 3.5.1.

Including the protobuf_to_dict in my code as follows: from protobuf_to_dict import protobuf_to_dict

Causes the following error: NameError: name 'long' is not defined

I agree. This now blows up immediately on import in python 3.6

This fork seems to solve the problem: https://github.com/kaporzhu/protobuf-to-dict

A kind soul created protobuf3-to-dict: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/protobuf3-to-dict/0.1.5

It seems to work for me.
