Python 3 compatibility?

[sursh]

Hi folks. Planning Python 3 compatibility for this awesome tool? I'm getting SyntaxErrors, looks like from print statements missing parens.

@sursh python3 compatibility would be awesome. Any interest in submitting some pull requests for the incompatibilities you uncovered?

No, can't help out, my plate is a bit full right now.

unfortunately i know that state all too well. Thanks for getting this issue started though!

I think I can take care of that! The plan would be to run python-modernize, which is a program that makes programs compatible for 2.6 - the 3s, and then clear up any additional errors that pop up when I run it in Python 3. I've done that for bar_chart.py, and can push it your way to see if that's what you'd like for the rest of them. Also let me know if you have any bundles of tests that are good to run to more concretely make sure everything is still working properly.

@Shadhopson still up for this?

oh hey, look at #35. Just needs to be merged in.

@jehiah - I realize this is ~3 years old but python3 native would be great if you can spare some time.

I applied #35 and found that it is working as expected with python 3.7.3 (tested data_hacks/histogram.py). Good job @melor !

Just to give an update in 2020, right now I found two ways to install data_hacks with Python 3 compatibility:

1. Install @nicholasren's fork: pip install data_hacks3
2. Install @melor's fork: pip install -e git://github.com/melor/data_hacks.git@py3#egg=data_hacks
