This is a(n):

• [ ] New algorithm
• [x] Update to an existing algorithm
• [ ] Error
• [ ] Proposal to the Repository

Details:

Python 2 will be obsoleted in ~2 years. Some of your use python 2 functions like

1. print
2. xrange
3. raw_input

Changes to be made

1. import print from future

   from __future__ import print_function

2. change xrange to range

   try:
   xrange = range
   except NameError:
   pass

3. change raw_input to range

   try:
   input = raw_input
   except NameError:
   pass

I think a better change might be to just convert the code? But yes, a good early change would be to add snippets such as this. However, this should be replaced with pure python3 code in the future.

@tbhaxor By all means, go for it! :+1:

@mansiag @tbhaxor Sure, like I said, go for it! Python 2 is getting old...

[tbhaxor]
