I performed some interop testing between Python 2 buildbot worker
and Python 3 buildbot master:

https://lists.buildbot.net/pipermail/devel/2017-October/012433.html

Based on my experiments, I think it is safe to perform the migration as
follows:

1.   Update the buildbot master to buildbot 9 + Python 3.  Leave the
buildbot workers/slaves alone.  They should be
      able to successfully connect to the new buildbot master and work.

2.   For the buildbot worker/slave maintainers, give them the following
options:

      a.  Upgrade the buildbot worker to buildbot 9 + Python 3    (MOST
PREFERRED)
      b.  Upgrade the buildbot worker to buildbot 9 + Python 2    (LESS
PREFERRED, BUT WILL WORK)
      c.  Leave the buildbot slave alone at buildbot 8 + Python 2  (LEAST
PREFERRED, BUT WILL WORK)


I did all my experiments on Linux + OS X, so we might want to double check
with
a Windows buildbot worker.  I don't have Windows environments readily
available for this type of interop testing.
