Upgrade to Python 3 and update documentation #33

Open zirafa opened 5 years ago

zirafa commented 5 years ago

Currently svg2mod only works with Python2 and can only be installed with pip2. However the documentation does not specify which version of Python and the README installation instructions no longer work. This is causing a LOT of confusion as seen in the issue queue: https://github.com/mtl/svg2mod/issues/23#issuecomment-387824146 #24 #28 #29 #34

It seems most new users are assuming this project should work with Python3, which it cannot -- here is a PR that both updates the relevant documentation and installation instructions, as well as code needed to get things working in Python3.

Note: The pip3 installation instructions only work with my branch atm. After merging it will need to be updated from pip3 install git+https://github.com/zirafa/svg2mod to pip3 install git+https://github.com/svg2mod

@mtl hasn't touched this in years so I think it is dead. If you would like to continue to support this project please checkout the new fork https://github.com/svg2mod/svg2mod.

Also if you are interested in joining the svg2mod organization as an active maintainer to prevent it from dying again feel free to open an issue on the new repo.
