Support for python 3

I can only run grow using python 2 which I don’t want as I want unicode support in URI. For python 3 I keep getting when I run pip install grow

Doesn’t grow support python 3 ?

I’m running Arch Linux 64bit, Python 3.5.0 .

I think it should be mentioned in the installation instructions on the website that Grow is not compatible with Python 3 – that’s pretty much the expectation for non-legacy tools these days.

I just tried to test grow. At the end of the output after execute pip install grow:

Running setup.py install for grow ... done

but when I tried to execute it:

$ grow

    from grow.common import ca_certs_locater

    import cStringIO
ImportError: No module named 'cStringIO'

In a quick search I found this could be related with the Python3 support. Is that correct?
