Python 3 support #96

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Hello, and thank you for the excellent tool!

Skype seems to be still very relevant in 2021 (especially with the rise of remote work). However, Skyperious still relies on python2, which has been declared EOL in January 2021, and pip would likely soon decommission python2 support.

How hard would be to port Skyperious to Python 3.9?

Py3 support is something that I plan to do at some point, haven't had time for it yet.

But it is going to be a lot of work. Py2->Py3 porting basically needs to go over every line of code with a meticulous eye, as so many things have changed, a number of built-in functions (like cmp) and entire datatypes (like buffer) have disappeared, and so on.

Python 3 support now available, from version 5.0.
