Bug Description

dput looks like it's depending on python2 (without using `from __future__ import print_function`)

Oh! This is my environment:

I have (in /usr/local/bin - ahead of /usr/bin, in my path) `python` refering to python3.6;

Temporarily changing my /usr/local/bin/python to point to /usr/bin/python2.7 (as /usr/bin/python links to), and dput installed.

Perhaps something as simple as being explicit in the dput install to use / call python2 would help.
