<p>Comment (by William Gabella):</p>
<p>I agreed to pull and review, test as well as I can. Some kind of test suite would be nice. </p>
<p>See Steve’s other pull request on the Python2 version with the --test switch on “sim” which will be changed to --dryrun . Might be a nice way to test sim over a broad range of options.

<p>Zach shared a Python3 “lint” er at <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://lgtm.com/projects/b/simfactory/simfactory2/?mode=list" rel="nofollow">https://lgtm.com/projects/b/simfactory/simfactory2/?mode=list</a></p>
<p>which as of now shows 4 errors, 27 warnings, 161 recommendations. Overall code quality “D” <img class="emoji" src="https://pf-emoji-service--cdn.us-east-1.prod.public.atl-paas.net/standard/551c9814-1d37-4573-819d-afab3afeaf32/48x48/1f642.png" alt="🙂" title=":slight_smile:" data-emoji-short-name=":slight_smile:" /> Unclear to me whether this is the Steve Python3 code or the current Python2 code.</p>
<p>Also our current Simfactory is officially Simfactory2; that does not mean Python2. There is a moribund project Simfactory3 out there.</p>
