Modernize

[jayvdb]

I ran python-modernize -nw, and ran nose tests on Python 2 and 3. All green.

Sorry, I don't currently have the bandwidth to review, test and release at the moment. In the last several years I've migrated entirely to stdlib mock and don't know when (or if) I'll have time to put any work into this project.

Using python-modernize (as in this patch), and a subset of #11, where used to keep fudge alive on openSUSE https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/864188

This is because some apps still use fudge, e.g. django-tables2

fabric has already removed fudge.

I suspect SoundScrape & sci-pype & Beatnik dont use it any more, so https://github.com/Miserlou/SoundScrape/pull/252 & https://github.com/jay-johnson/sci-pype/pull/10 & https://github.com/nickpwhite/Beatnik/pull/19 , nor https://github.com/DakotaNelson/sneaky-creeper/pull/105

https://github.com/whamcloud/integrated-manager-for-lustre probably doesnt use fudge any more, but I havent sent a PR that way yet.

The mozilla repos are archived. Many of the others are not actively developed/maintained.

Active projects:

• fab-classic
• presto-admin

Probably many more active projects with <40 stars.

any hope for this?

@jsatt I understand that you have no time, but ... you could at least transfer the project to someone who has the time, like maybe Jay? Or for that matter, me, because it's probably quicker for me to keep fudge active than remove it from both my company's major projects.

[jsatt]

I'm fine with this, but I'd like to defer to @kumar303 since it was originally his project and I simply joined in order to provide help that I was never able to get around to.

[jsatt]

@RussNelson I went ahead and made you an Owner on the project, feel free to collaborate and add other folks. If you can provide me with your PyPI username I can get you access to the package on there.

[RussNelson]

Thanks! PyPI username is russnelson.

Thanks, @jsatt and @RussNelson . I don't maintain fudge anymore but I empower anyone else to do so, as needed. Let us know if you need additional access.
