I will look at making a pull request tomorrow. The changes should be
reasonably straight forward syntax changes (e.g. use "!=" instead of
"<>" for the does not equal operator), work with Python3 in stretch, and
not require any additional dependancies (I think it only depends on
Python3).

Perhaps the most intrusive change is deleting the py file with the
definition of namedtuple, it is not needed now Python has the
collections module with a built in namedtuple.
