Support for Python3

[riban-bw]

Python 2 goes out of support at end of 2019. Python Software Foundation are recommending update to Python 3. Please consider updating touchosc2midi to support being run by Python 3 interpreter.

+1 for Python3 support. Right now using Ubuntu20.04 I am unable to build touchosc2midi. thanks

[velolala]

I agree! Any takers?

So I've had some success, but I am not sure how to proceed with merging my changes back to the upstream & getting it uploaded to pypi.

I am not a professional python developer, I just wanted to make it work on my Pi Zero W, so I could finally connect TouchOSC to my guitar FX processor.

Please proceed with care.

Hi reactorcoremeltdown. I'm not a complete newbee, and could use some help installing Velolala's touchosc2midi on my Ubuntu 20.02 LTS desktop. Please see below the error thrown when I follow your guideline. Any help appreciated!

So we were able to troubleshoot all problems with python3 setup in a private conversation. Thanks for a nice chat, Christiaan!

What also bothers me a little here is that pyliblo is quite outdated, I'll see on a clean machine if it's possible to upgrade the library.

After all this made clear, I'll need a hand to get it merged to the upstream.

Thanks everyone!

I'm running this on arch linux, using the latest python packages from the main repo (except for mido, installed via pip).

These are the changes I needed to make, and it seems to be working for me
