well that didn't happen and as soon as anyone expressed any interest in carrying patches Osamu pretty much just said take over the package because he wasn't interested in it any more. and then the topic dropped because nobody wanted to pick it up. the original author of the package made some noises about how much work it would take to make all the changes and someone else just did it. if the link i posted in this thread is correct and the person did convert it to python3 there was no comment by anyone or the original author. so to me it looks like they aren't that interested or it would have been merged and kept up (even if in another branch). i grabbed it myself just in case it actually does keep working after python2 goes away. my initial test of it was that it worked, but i dunno if that test was correct. i've also investigated other packages but they are not drop in replacements so that means more work i don't have time for at the moment. songbird
