Hi,

This is a very boring series.

I a later series I refactor the iotests.py class, however when the first version
of series [1] was posted I received comments that this class should no support
Python 3.

I didn't tested with very old CentOS release, but this should work with Python
versions >= 2.6.0a2.

Note: in today's IRC chat we suggest to drop Python 2 support for block iotests,
continuing to support it for common scripts used by the build system.

I'm not a Python expert, so I'll be very happy/relieved if someone is willing to
fix/continue/improve this series :)

Regards,

Phil.

Thanks, this is useful.  However, it'd be much easier if the commit
messages showed the actual error message that is fixed, or an example.
