[CRIU] p.haul python versions?

Hi Tycho,

I was surprised by the comment, so I asked around...  Apparently, that
comment (https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/293) is about no plans to
support Python 3 for caffee.  This has nothing to do with Google not
supporting protobuf in Python 3.  In fact, gRPC (
https://github.com/grpc/grpc) which will support Python 2.7 and Python 3.4
requires protobuf.

I am not a Python expert and am not involved with protobuf development
efforts but can direct you to the right folks if you need more detailed
information.
