Migrate to Python 3 #17

Closed sadielbartholomew closed 4 months ago

sadielbartholomew commented 2 years ago

Much overdue, especially as we are now sitting on some high-severity security vulnerabilities (in urllib3 and lxml) which can't be resolved automatically by Dependabot, which requires Python 3, so would need manual compatibility verification (which seems risky and time-consuming!).

I would like to tackle this migration straight after the machine and performance work is released, before starting the conformance work in earnest, because use of Python 2 slowed me down greatly with the former in terms of difficulty of setting up a compatible environment across essential libraries and changing code I write naturally in 3 to work with Python 2.

This didn't happen a few years ago for various reasons (mostly lack of dedicated time) but I am tackling this now in a separate branch for server-side use (and will commit the code once I get things working in Python 3).

Agreed.
