  well that didn't happen and as soon as anyone
expressed any interest in carrying patches Osamu
pretty much just said take over the package because
he wasn't interested in it any more.  and then the
topic dropped because nobody wanted to pick it up.

  the original author of the package made some 
noises about how much work it would take to make
all the changes and someone else just did it.

  if the link i posted in this thread is correct and
the person did convert it to python3 there was no 
comment by anyone or the original author.  so to me 
it looks like they aren't that interested or it would 
have been merged and kept up (even if in another
branch).

  i grabbed it myself just in case it actually does 
keep working after python2 goes away.  my initial
test of it was that it worked, but i dunno if that
test was correct.

  i've also investigated other packages but they are
not drop in replacements so that means more work i
don't have time for at the moment.
