python3 compatibility

[rouxrei]

I installed cm-api for python3 using pip without issues

pip install cm-api

However, following the example on the website , I immediately get an error:

>>> from cm_api.api_client import ApiResource
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\cm_api\api_client.py", line 23, in <module>
    from cm_api.http_client import HttpClient, RestException
  File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\cm_api\http_client.py", line 182
    except urllib2.HTTPError, ex:
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The error is obvious, python3 does not allow ','(comma) as syntax to declare an alias of an exception.

It seems cm-api is NOT compatible with python3 since this commit: dcc11df
I could not find a reason for reverting the compatibility.

So either this lib should be removed from the pip3 repositories or this commit should be 'unreverted'?

Still a problem more than year after initial report.

Did anyone find a workaround other that using Ansible controller executable running on Python2.7?
