Hey ! is any form of life here ?

Four months without response. Too much work, I guess.

Hi,
I'm super busy and sometimes miss notifications. Sorry for that.

That being said, I don't have a lot of spare time to work on this project. I'll try to approve PRs nonetheless, so feel free to port it :-)

If I remember correctly, there was a reason for choosing python2. I think back then one library was not python3 ready or so, but I could be mistaken here.

I was looking for a python bot for integrating rss into irc but sadly https://pythonclock.org/ and that is is for real. I do not want to invest time in any project that would become unmaintainable in few months.

Maybe it would worth adding a banner like "open for adoption", we may find people that could work on that.

[gehaxelt]

Yeah, I see a point here.

I'll try to find time to make a rewrite to python3, but on the other hand I'm always happy to merge PRs that fix and maintain/update the project :-)

[ssbarnea]

@gehaxelt Sure. Now that I am using it I will probably start adding PRs. Usually adding py3 support should be made in smaller chunks, as they are easier to review.

PS. I would avoid rewrite, I am more of transition, with some time covering both. Also this is good as the same process can later be used to test newer versions of python.

I have just translated the bot to Python3 and it uses the latest libraries available. I would like some users to help me test it on different systems before making the Pull Request, as this is a major change.

The Python3 edition of the bot and the new installation instructions are available at my repository. You can still use your current "feeds.sql" file, but the database needs to be recreated, so it would be advisable before running it:

mv feeds.db feeds.db.old

Thanks.
