Well, I managed to port Philip Daubmeier's solution to python 3 (and also added color mapping to it). The main problem was the ord-function, which needed to be left out, as Python 3 - bytestring indexing returns the ASCII-value directly, instead of the char at that position (see here and here..). I created a Git repo, feel free to contribute (better performance would be desirable-> pm for invitation):
