Description W. Trevor King 2014-04-19 18:30:00 UTC

After a long hiatus following Aaron Swartz's death, html2text is picking up again [1] with a new GitHub organization [2] and PyPI release [3].  It would be nice to bump the buggy old package to the new version, and start tracking development again :).  I wouldn't ordinarily submit a bug for this, but it's been two years since the last upstream release, and I expect folks have stopped checking ;).

[1]: https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text/issues/91
[2]: https://github.com/html2text/html2text
     although maybe that's not entirely up to speed yet?  The 2014.4.5 tag is in https://github.com/Alir3z4/html2text
[3]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/html2text


Reproducible: Always

Bumping PYTHON_COMPAT to include Python 3.4 (now that it's stable) would be nice too ;).

If that matters to you please open a dedicated bug: all depdencies will need to support 3.4 too, but not all do yet.

Sounds good.  I'll see what I can do here.  The feedparser dependency (importing the private _getCharacterEncoding!) definitely needs to go…

Always good to see bugs upstreamed.  Thanks again for the quick fix :).
