pip installer has old version of pdf-link-checker

[karplus]

The pip installer seems to be set up for a much older version of pdf-link-checker—one that has syntax errors for Python 3.

Here's what I get running pdf-link-checker on the Mac with Python 3.9:

  File "/usr/local/bin/pdf-link-checker", line 105
    except urllib2.HTTPError, why:
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I get the same error on Ubuntu Linux with Python 3.9.5.

@michaelopdenacker could you take a look at #7 and make a new release?

[michaelopdenacker]

Done.
Closing the bug as we don't use urllib2 any more.

Do you intend to make a new release on pypi? I still see v1.1.1
