I also need python3 support since I started a project with python3 and now I want google+ sigin and access to google contacts. Here is the google document which lists the google api python client as needed for the g+ signin implementation, see step 8: https://developers.google.com/+/web/signin/server-side-flow

It seems that there are two strategies:

separate code bases for python2 and python3
- here is a good implementation of that in one of this library's dependencies:
  - https://github.com/jcgregorio/httplib2
- this is probably the safest approach if backwards compatibility is the number 1 concern
combined code base that supports both python2 and python3
- here is a good implementation and the framework I am using in Python3
  - https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid

It seems that no actual python dependency is listed for either google-api-python-client or oauth2client. The python documentation states that limiting support to Python 2.6+ will make strategy 2, a combined code base, easier:
https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html#try-to-support-python-2-6-and-newer-only

Seeing python3 support as inevitable if a high level path is chosen now then others can start contributing.

Uh oh!

Python 3 #3
