Salt repository expects Salt to run under Python 2, as it was the way packagers configured Salt.

But recently, Debian Salt packages maintainers decided to switch to Python 3.

We need to migrate our repository to be Python 3 compatible.

I see two needed actions:

• replace iteritems() by items() for dictionaries
• check custom modules unit tests under Python 3 (I remember very well to have different sorting results for example for set manipulation during development)

This is a rather high level priority task, as Eglide user account creation is currently blocked by this.
