Description

Among all scripts in tools/bin/, token-generator is bit of an oddball there. While all other scripts are simple shell script wrappers around Java tools, the generator is a standalone Python script. Although it seems to be still working just fine, it's not Python3 compatible yet, which causes permanent test failures for token_generator_test.py, after we migrated to Python3.

It would be great if we could make the script work with both Python2+3.
