Does Twisted Conch support Py3 now?

[robputt]

Last upstream commit seems to be from 14th September 2016, is Twisted dead?

[robputt]

Seems Twisted Conch is not yet Py3 capable...

Maybe we can subclass it and override methods that require updating? < @tnich @Bifrozt @bang-uin thoughts?

Any news on this, I get this with Twisted 18.7.0 and Python3.

Ok I stand corrected it does work!
But now you have to prefix a lot of the strings with b for a byte array. E.g. the key looks now like this:

publicKeys = {
    b'ssh-rsa': keys.Key.fromString(data=sshkeys.SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY)
}
