Python 3 support

[thachmai]

What do you think about the possibility of supporting Python 3?

I can contribute some time into this effort if green-lighted.

Before there's an official release of Gevent which supports Python 3, we won't have a Python 3 compatible version, since Locust relies heavily on Gevent.

There are problems with current Python 2.7.9 and the Gevent & SSL combination (Known Issue), I doubt a Gevent release for Python 3 in the near future.
Then, Locust would need to be re-written to avoid using Greenlets altogether (Python 3 has better threading - but is it good enough?).

Python 3 has better threading - but is it good enough?

better async i/o, but what better threading?
