We need help with testing!

As you may know, in December, Tahoe-LAFS engaged Aspiration as a fiscal
sponsor to facilitate a number of projects. The first of these projects is
the porting of Tahoe and dependent libraries to Python 3. That project is
currently underway and could benefit from the assistance of the Tahoe-LAFS
community. The success of the port and dependent libraries is contingent on
thorough testing. With the different uses of Tahoe-LAFS, it would be
beneficial to have the work tested accordingly. The goal is for the project
to be completed by November.

--- You can also check out the milestone in Trac.
https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/milestone/Support%20Python%203.

--- Currently, we are looking at Python 2 testing to demonstrate there are
no regressions. A PR has been shared to the mailing list and reviews can
begin. https://github.com/anvetsu/foolscap/pull/1

--- Also, there has been a significant change (
https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/3031) merged into master. The
switch from "pycryptopp" to "cryptography" could benefit from testing right
now.

If you are able and comfortable doing so, it would be appreciated if you
share your testing experiences on the mailing list.

Thank you for your efforts to support Tahoe-LAFS!
