Python 2 to 3 Porting Plans

[JnyJny]

Does this project have a plan for migrating to Python 3? Python 2 will be EOL in a little over a year, see https://pythonclock.org for the exact time left.

Hi @JnyJny, we are migrating away from the use of this parser. As such, it is unlikely that we'll be transitioning to Python 3 for this project.

You may want to inquire at the forked project https://github.com/eregs/regulations-parser, which may have an ongoing support/implementation plan.

Thanks for getting back to me, I stumbled on the eregs project soon after opening this issue. What new parser are you migrating too? Thanks for the good work, btw.

The parser we are migrating to is part of our cfgov-refresh project. A few important notes:

• It is also currently Python 2
• This extracts less informataion from the eCFR XML
• Its is tightly coupled to the models of our application
• It parses to a human readable Markdown-like format

I hope that proves useful!
