Package is written in python 2 and can no longer be installed

I have a project that could benefit from the FUF module here but it is written in Python 2. Are there any plans to migrate this project to python 3?

It's all down to what people want to contribute...

@stevenbird For my project I ended up using the 2to3 executable to turn nltk_contrib into a python3 codebase, but I hacked it up a little and have only tested my use case (I suspect other parts of the library are broken). If there's interest I am happy to upload what I have for others and we could potentially reassemble what was lost in translation.

I've gone ahead and created a repo with the (at least partly) working python3 version of nltk_contrib. https://github.com/alex-calderwood/nltk_contrib_py3

Steven, if you could create a python3_dev branch or something similar I can pull-request into that.
