Python 3 Support

[MrPowerScripts]

Please add support for python 3! Python 2 is no longer available in Ubuntu 20. The usability of this library is starting to fade and it's still incredibility valuable. Adding python 3 support would reclaim the value for many years if it's possible.

Hi folks, I've just uploaded a Python 3 port to PyPI. I'm not using it myself, so feedback is welcome. Thanks for your considerable patience.

Check out https://github.com/pteichman/fate if you're Go inclined. Cobe's main design constraint was minimal memory usage, and because of that it hits disk all the time. Fate keeps its entire model in RAM, and I've got fate models running up to about 760,000 lines of corpus.

Sounds good to me. I think some people are using 2to3 (at least, I've merged a few commits to help) but if it makes sense to have the master branch target 3 directly, that's fine too.

@pteichman At least be compatible. cobe is listed as available for Python 3 on PyPI, which it isn't.

[pteichman]

Ah! Ok, I'll look into that.

@pteichman any news? I'd love to use this in python3 projects.

Hello?

[wallabra]

I still am looking forward to this.

Hello?

[iakat]

Yes hello @koitsu

We're all waiting for some progress on this. PyStemmer and other pteichman softwares also don't build on newer compilers (ex. clang), so for cobe to work, it seems the effort may be quite large.

Add support for python 3. Python 2 is out of date.
