Python 3, remove deprecated modules #342

Closed scivision closed 4 years ago

scivision commented 6 years ago

Basemap is deprecated, upgrade to its replacement CartoPy
gently, in phases, do pull requests for Python>=3.5. I closed my own pull requests #311 and #312 because they were too big at once.
- NumPy is dropping Python 2.7 new releases as of Jan 1, 2019.
- Matplotlib 3.0 (summer 2018) requires Python>=3.5
- over half of new Python devel work has been Python 3 since 2016.
- I have been requiring Python 3.5 and 3.6 for most of my repos, with a very wide and reasonably large audience and get almost no complaints

@scivision , I think replacing the deprecated modules is a good place to start. After that, it may be worthwhile to do the python 3 updates and add unit tests at the same time. That way we can sensibly do testing on a larger codebase.

Certainly agree here. Seems as though we'll have a good bit of work ahead of us to get caught up to python3!

One of the main reasons we realized this repo had become too bloated for us to manage. Closing this issue now as we never fully upgraded to python3 and the new dependencies and davitpy is being deprecated.
