FWIW on Mint18.1 I have it.

jfb at jims-mint18 ~ $ locate lsb_release.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lsb_release.pyc
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lsb_release.py
/usr/share/pyshared/lsb_release.py
jfb at jims-mint18 ~ $

Looking at the timestamps etc, they seem to be identical and it should 
be comparable with Python3 as it has this line:

# Python3-compatible print() function
from __future__ import print_function

so maybe you could just copy the one from 2.7 to python 3.
