upgrade to Python 3 #373

Closed rahulbot closed 4 years ago

rahulbot commented 5 years ago

Python 2.x is reaching end of life. We should try upgrading the system to Python 3. If that turns out to be a total pain that requires lots of rewriting, then we can just skip it because the codebase is mostly in maintenance mode.

I had to jump on this because deploys are failing now, because there is some nltk library that won't install in Python2 anymore :-(

Notes on what I had to do so far:

replaced goose with newspaper3k
replaced pyth with pyth3
upgraded numpy, scipy, and some others
