Python 3 support
schoeps opened this issue · comments
Is anyone working on porting the code to python 3? I tried my luck with 2to3 but there is still a few remaining issues that require a careful look. Before I dig deep into the code, I wanted to check if this is already done? Thanks!
Hi, @schoeps! No, I'm not actively working on porting this code to support Python 3, and I'm not aware of anyone else doing it, either. If you decide to keep going with it, I'd be happy to look at any pull requests, including drafts, if you are stuck on something or have something you think is mergeable.
Thanks for your interest!
Stuart Prescott ported the Debian package of geneagrapher to Python 3 a few months ago. I'll prepare a pull request here in a moment with the patches.
I checked out fork #23. It works for me. I needed to modify the http fetching in line 28 page = urllib.request.urlopen(url,context=ssl._create_unverified_context())
of geneagrapher/grabber.py to avoid certificate errors. I am not sure if my Mac is guilty or the server. It seems that the website moves to http://mathgenealogy.org.
@davidalber: maybe it's time for a new release :)
