Last month I exchanged emails with Martin (the upstream developer) about
this and he answered me that he made sure that his scripts were
compatible with both Python 2 and 3.  So the only effect of applying the
patch upstream would be to to drop compatibility with Python 2.

The reason he keeps support for Python 2 is that it is still the default
on Mac OS and on some shared workstations used by scientists.  I think
we can wait that Apple wakes up and the old workstations shut down.

Have a nice day,

Charles
