The EOL is known about, see the description at the top of the original Asciidoc Python github https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc. > > The largest change in Python 3 is handling of strings.

See the first two PRs here https://github.com/asciidoc/asciidoc-py3/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+ I had also expected the amount of changes for Unicode vs ASCII handling to be significant, but seems it was not so bad (but then I didn't have to do it :). > > Really like Asciidoc and recommend it all the time. Good to hear, but don't forget that there is also the Asciidoctor implementation. Its active and (as I am not a direct contributor to Asciidoctor I can say this without blowing my own trumpet) MUCH faster than Asciidoc Python. And as it is moving to reduce the reliance on the Docbook toolchains is probably more suitable for new users.
