Description
At this moment in time libinfoblox, which we depend on for https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.infoblox.html#salt.modules.infoblox.get_network support hasn't seen a release in 3 years.
adminoldadmin in #salt on Freenode had a problem that turned out to be a lack of Python3 support.
Either we need to get the underlying library updated, or shift to something like the official infoblox client
This issue should be kept open until either the underlying lib gets a new release or we update infoblox support to use the more active client

Research direction
Start with the salt.modules.infoblox module and its documented get_network support, then inspect how it depends on libinfoblox. Compare updating that dependency with switching to the official infoblox-client. Done means Infoblox support works under Python 3 and the chosen underlying client has an appropriate release or integration.
