Bug Description

A lot of other tests (dialer, messaging, gallery, webbrowser, notes, keyboard) depend on ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot for the emulators. To unblock these from being ported to Python 3, the package should ship a Python 3 module of ubuntuuitoolkit.emulators.

The module itself should already work fine for Python 3, 2to3 has no output at all, and a quick visual inspection also shows no oddities (string vs. bytes and the usual traps).

The package already violates the python policy anyway, so I guess as a first step it could just ship the python3 module in the same package. A cleaner approach would be to split out python3-ubuntuuitoolkit-emulators, but that might be a bit much for this one file which is relevant for testing only.

Quick hack for running tests with Python 3 for the time being:

$ cp -r /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuuitoolkit .

and run tests from that directory. Or, for running installed tests,

$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib//python3/dist-packages/ubuntuuitoolkit
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuuitoolkit/emulators.py /usr/lib//python3/dist-packages/ubuntuuitoolkit/

Note that this bug and https://code.launchpad.net/~robru/autopilot/drop-upa/+merge/196034 seem to be the only two major blockers for transitioning tests to python3.

I have a branch that I'm working on in conjunction with porting autopilot to Python 3. Local testing/building problems prevent merge proposals at this time. I'll take a look at the mp attached to this bug.
