Python3 support?

[djshuckerow]

In Python3.4, I run
$ pip install unirest
I get the following error:

PS: I'm running Windows 8.1, although this looks like a problem in python2 vs python3 syntax.

I am also experiencing this issue

[alexandrevicenzi]

Yes. It's a problem with poster package. It's only works with Python 2.

A good way to solve this is to remove poster dependency or send a PR to poster project.

See this issue.

Hi all, I managed to create a working version of poster:
https://github.com/mrd1no/poster-0.8.1-for-Python-3.4

I can also install correctly unirest (I still have some minor issues with StringIO for this library:
builtins.TypeError: POST data should be bytes or an iterable of bytes. It cannot be of type str)

[alexandrevicenzi]

@mikeyhew there's always requests to replace unirest

[mikeyhew]

@alexandrevicenzi true. That's what I ended up using today.

Sorry to bump this. In case anyone needs it I have made a fork compatible with Python 3 at https://github.com/tirkarthi/unirest-python . You can use it as a git based dependency. It doesn't work for gzip based files for now.

There is an incompatible dependency poster. You can find a Python 3 fork of the same at https://github.com/tirkarthi/python-poster.

Unirest vs requests
