functools32 dependency in installBuildRequirements

[umayrh]

While trying to upgrade my PyGradle project to python3, I see that the build invariably fails while trying to mysteriously install functools32. I've already spent weeks try to make PyGradle work with Python 3. Shouldn't it just work out of the box since Py2 is not supported anymore?
