legacy python?

Hey. I've been trying to use your pre-trained model using the AP corpus, but I get an error on unpickling:

> python infer_test.py     
/home/andy/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gensim/utils.py:1015: UserWarning: Pattern library is not installed, lemmatization won't be available.
  warnings.warn("Pattern library is not installed, lemmatization won't be available.")

    return _pickle.loads(f.read())
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xfb in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Given your use of the codec package, I guess you're using python2? Any chance you could build a python3 version?

Correct, it is for python2. Unfortunately I don't do python3 so there won't be support for it...

[amueller]

You do realize that python2 is approaching end of life? Maybe at least add a warning?

[jhlau]

Fair point; I'll add python2 as a requirement on the page.

thanks :)
