python 3.5: upgrading smart_open package

[Anupam Mediratta]

Hello,

I have to use python 3.5 in my use case and one of the packages I use
(gensim), in turn uses smart_open (https://github.com/piskvorky/smart_open/)

smart_open depends on boto and boto fails on my machine running ubuntu
15.10.

So in order for me to be able to run gensim, I need to be able to migrate
smart_open from boto to boto3 (boto3 works fine with python 3 and ubuntu
15.10).

There is an open github issue:
https://github.com/piskvorky/smart_open/issues/43

I am not sure how to go about doing this migration. If someone has any
directions or guidelines I will appreciate.

Thanks
