[caheredia]

any plans for for porting this over to python3?

Latest commits are in 2016. I think the original developers aren't active on this project any more. I'll mark this ticket as "Help Wanted" maybe somebody will be interested in contributing that at some point.

looks like the tests and API are pretty dependent upon the old python2.7 string behavior

in order to not break old code, the API will have to be byte strings (b"hello" vs. "hello" in python3)

that may or may not be the desired outcome, as i suspect most will want to just work with normal python3 strings
