Convert to use idioms that work for both python 3 and python 2.6+ and
ensure that a suitable version of dependencies is included for python 3
compatibility.
Update python-jenkins to 0.3.4 as the earliest version that supports
python 3 without any known regressions. Add an extra parser check for
missing 'command' due to changes in how argparse works under python 3.
To access the first element of a dict in both python 2 and 3,
'next(iter(dict.items()))' is used as the standard idiom to replace
'dict.items()[0]' as 'items()' returns an iterator in python 3 which
cannot be indexed. Using 'next(iter(..))' allows for both lists and
iterators to be passed in without unnecessary conversion of iterators to
lists which would be true of 'list(dict.items())[0]'.
Original change which was reverted due to breaking use of job-groups is
If4b35e2ceee8239379700e22eb79a3eaa04d6f0f. This replaces the previous
conversion of 'dict.items()[0]' to 'dict.popitem()', which would result
in removing a job-group when first called, thus defeating the benefit of
being able to reference the group mulitple times. This usage has been
replaced with 'next(iter(dict.items()))' as a non-modifying alternative
that still avoids creating unnecessary copies of data while working for
all supported versions of python.
