Hi, all.

In context of the large ongoing effort to port Fedora's core parts to Python 3, I took a look at urlgrabber, as some key packages depend on it, and we need it running on Python 3.

I would like to ask you if you are OK with me doing the port of the package to Python 3 in the first place, and if so, whether there are some non-obvious constraints or limitations. Another question is what versions of Python you intend to support, since I inferred from the code comments that some pretty old versions of Python are (or were) being calculated with. I would submit patches for your review and potential inclusion as a matter of course.

As a part of the porting, I would, with your permission, port also the test suite, which is currently run on a custom test runner, to pytest.

Thanks.

Cheers, Tomas Radej
