please! port to python3

hi! I'm search for alternative scraper for attract mode i just found your project. I use debian and python2 will be deprecated. Can you port your script to python3 ? thanks!!

The truth is that I abandoned this project a few years ago, but yes, I can port it to Python 3. Now I'm on holidays and I have some projects in hand, but I think I can make time for it ;)

Great News!, thanks! i'm not python coder but with this changes, begin work. Then i notice that have a user password credentials hardcoded at the scraper url... This settings must be passed to script via cmdops or config file.

Hi!

I've ported it to python3, and working on a bunch of enhancements. See my fork.
