Note that even if you fix these, there could be other less obvious
compatibility issues with running this script in Python 3. The safest
and most straightforward way to proceed is to install Python 2 and use
that to run the script. However, in the long term you may want to
consider upgrading the script to Python 3 anyway. Python 2.7 is only
guaranteed to be supported through the year 2020.
