      Doing pip install wiredtiger with a python 3.6 environment leads to an error message saying that wiredtiger is not available in Python 3.

      Python 2 will retire in 2 years in theory.

      I might be the only user of the python bindings still it will be nice to have bindings to help any future users of wiredtiger with bindings in the version of Python that is current and nowdays that version is 3.6. FWIW, I think Python is good way to get used to how wiredtiger works.

      I tried in the past to create cffi bindings for Python 3 but failed. Maybe I (or someone else) should try harder or try cython.
