tests: make test-manifest.py portable to Python 3 Lots of b prefixes here, and https://bugs.python.org/issue29714 means that this test is still very broken on Python 3.6 and 3.6.1, but 3.6.2 should things (based on testing using tip of the 3.6 branch from git). #cleanup-only

cleanup: rename all iteritems methods to items and add iteritems alias Due to a quirk of our module importer setup on Python 3, all calls and definitions of methods named iteritems() get rewritten at import time. Unfortunately, this means there's not a good portable way to access these methods from non-module-loader'ed code like our unit tests. This change fixes that, which also unblocks test-manifest.py from passing under Python 3. We don't presently define any itervalues methods, or we'd need to give those similar treatment.

help: work around textwrap.dedent() only working on strings

server: write out pid using bytes IO instead of str IO

help: convert dict to strkwargs

util: use sysstr.join instead of bytes.join in textwrap wrapper

tests: port test extension in test-help.t to python 3 The changes required herein suggest to me that we should probably accept ascii-safe unicode strings for command name, flag name, etc.

doc: port check-seclevel.py to be Python 2/3 portable

match: define exactmatcher.matchfn statically This should eliminate the reference cycle, self.matchfn -> self.exact -> self.

match: remove override of prefix() from differencematcher It's exactly the same as basematcher.prefix().
