Thanks for your patch. It looks good, but I'd rather prefer
to use print(..., file=sys.stderr) instead of 
sys.stderr.write().

This might need more changes though: I'm not sure if the
pep8 test accepts this (tests/testmanual_pep8.py). 

Importing print_function from __future__ should make it
work in both Python 2 and 3.

Downgrading to wishlist, as that is more like a feature
request to translate the scripts from Python 2 to Python 3
and not really a bug.

There is an extra > in front of the first attachement line, causing
git am to fail applying it.
