Syntax error while installing Python3

[AkhilJPatil]

Not sure if transitfeed is ready for python3! Already went through #493, #412 and response by pecalleja 4 months ago.

Tried installing the transitfeed module on windows 10, Python version: 3.5.2 and ubuntu 18.04.3, Python version: 3.6.9

Getting below syntax error. Is there an error free alternate file availble at some other path or should just remove the syntax locally and try to install it.

there is a fork with python3 support but you need to manually install from sources.

follow these steps ** : 1 - clone the python3 fork and change to python3 branch

git clone https://github.com/pecalleja/transitfeed.git

cd transitfeed

git checkout python3

2 - create a virtual environment and activate it

virtualenv -p python3 venv

source venv/bin/activate

3 - Install the requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

4 - install the package

python setup.py install

5 - run all test

nosetests -x -vv tests

(** no tested in windows)

I was considering porting the whole thing to python3, but also wondered whether there was a python3 version somewhere else already. If there's not, I'll do the work, but probably need a little guidance from the maintainers wrt what they'd like in a PR.

Please advise. Thanks!

In the util.py file change the import urllib2 to import urllib and that will solve this issue and install on the latest version of Python
