Not working with Python3

[erikvold]

I tried this with python3 on osx 10.11 and ran into a few errors, here they are in received order:

• SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
• ImportError: No module named 'StringIO'
• ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'
• TypeError: object() takes no parameters
• NameError: name 'xrange' is not defined

all standard python2 -> python3 conversion issues, which I worked through with some quick fixes, and finally got to this attempt:

$ soundmeter --collect --seconds 10

Which didn't seem like a standard error, so I moved to another osx to try python2, and ran in to issue #7, but that is a separate issue...

It seems I didn't create a release yet to include the commits that support Python 3. Can you try to install the master branch?
