Made all tests work in py3, the brutal way.

However, they do indeed indicate that async is not deterministic in py3,
which should make it even more useless.
Will remove it from gitdb I suppose.

 Async aims to make writing asyncronous processing easier. It provides a task-graph

 such as file IO, can be sped up with it already. In conjuction with
