Now is as good a time as any with open PR's at a low.

The idioms fixer makes the following replacements.

1) int <- bool
2) comparison or identity of types <- isinstance
3) a.sort() <- sorted(a)

There were two problems that needed to be dealt with after the
application of the fixer. First, the replacement of comparison or
identity of types by isinstance was not always correct.  The isinstance
function returns true for subtypes whereas many of the places where the
fixer made a substitution needed to check for exact type equality.
Second, the sorted function was applied to arrays, but because it treats
them as iterators and constructs a sorted list from the result, that is
the wrong thing to do.

Closes #3062.

In Python3 `dict.items()`, `dict.keys()`, and `dict.values()` are
iterators. This causes problems when a list is needed so the 2to3 fixer
explicitly constructs a list when is finds on of those functions.
However, that is usually not necessary, so a lot of the work here has
been cleaning up those places where the fix is not needed. The big
exception to that is the `numpy/f2py/crackfortran.py` file. The code
there makes extensive use of loops that modify the contents of the
dictionary being looped through, which raises an error. That together
with the obscurity of the code in that file made it safest to let the
`dict` fixer do its worst.

Closes #3050.

Add `print_function` to all `from __future__ import ...` statements
and use the python3 print function syntax everywhere.

Closes #3078.

The new import `absolute_import` is added the `from __future__ import`
statement and The 2to3 `import` fixer is run to make the imports
compatible. There are several things that need to be dealt with to make
this work.

1) Files meant to be run as scripts run in a different environment than
files imported as part of a package, and so changes to those files need
to be skipped. The affected script files are:

    * all setup.py files
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_umath.py
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_numpy_api.py
    * numpy/core/code_generators/generate_ufunc_api.py

2) Some imported modules are not available as they are created during
the build process and consequently 2to3 is unable to handle them
correctly. Files that import those modules need a bit of extra work.
The affected files are:

    * core/__init__.py,
    * core/numeric.py,
    * core/_internal.py,
    * core/arrayprint.py,
    * core/fromnumeric.py,
    * numpy/__init__.py,
    * lib/npyio.py,
    * lib/function_base.py,
    * fft/fftpack.py,
    * random/__init__.py

Closes #3172

An open file `f` has been an iterator since python2.3 and
`f.xreadlines()` is no longer needed, so replace it with `f`. Also
replace `f.readlines()` with `f` where an iterator will do. The
replacement of `f.readlines()` is not critical because it is a list in
both python2 and python3, but the code is a bit cleaner.

Closes #3093

This should be harmless, as we already are division clean. However,
placement of this import takes some care. In the future a script
can be used to append new features without worry, at least until
such time as it exceeds a single line. Having that ability will
make it easier to deal with absolute imports and printing updates.
