MAJOR: contrib: porting spoa_server to support python3
Background:
Python 2 is no longer supported since January, 1st 2020 as per
https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/
The purpose of this change is to make the spoa_server contrib library
compatible with Python 3 to allow transition to Python 3.
Test Settings:
ps_python.py:
...
spoa.set_var_null("null", spoa.scope_txn)
spoa.set_var_boolean("boolean", spoa.scope_txn, True)
spoa.set_var_int32("int32", spoa.scope_txn, 1234)
spoa.set_var_uint32("uint32", spoa.scope_txn, 1234)
spoa.set_var_int64("int64", spoa.scope_txn, 1234)
spoa.set_var_uint64("uint64", spoa.scope_txn, 1234)
spoa.set_var_ipv4("ipv4", spoa.scope_txn, ipaddress.IPv4Address(u"127.0.0.1"))
spoa.set_var_ipv6("ipv6", spoa.scope_txn, ipaddress.IPv6Address(u"1::f"))
spoa.set_var_str("str", spoa.scope_txn, "1::f")
spoa.set_var_bin("bin", spoa.scope_txn, "1:\x01:\x42f\x63\x63")
spoa.set_var_str("python_version", spoa.scope_sess, str(sys.version_info))
