MAINT: Python 3 compatibility and travis testing

[matthew-brett]

Use futurize and some hand editing to update code for Python3.

Add .travis.yml file for travis-ci testing.

Sorry, I didn't notice #1 before I did this.

Here I took the approach of always opening files in binary mode, and converting to latin1 before doing the regex searches. I guess that is what grin is doing, effectively, under Python 2, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Just started on the same thing - glad I checked here first. Thanks @matthew-brett and @jvkersch.

I tested both PRs, both work as expected for my use cases.

[rgommers]

@rkern perhaps you can hit the green button here? Would make installing a lot easier ....

[matthew-brett]

I still think this is the right fix - and this appears to be the last man standing. Robert - what do you think? I'm using this branch fairly often on my machines.

I just tested this out on Python3.6 and it worked seemlessly. @rkern any bandwidth to take a look?

[jonathanrocher]

@matthew-brett : @rkern commented offline that he won't be maintaining this repository anymore, and has switched to using https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep . That implementation is amazing (and very fast) but is non-trivial to install for Windows users. Would you consider merging your branch into your fork's master, so a py3 supported version exists in a master branch somewhere?

[matthew-brett]

@rkern - would you mind giving me upload rights to PyPI, user matthew.brett, so I can upload the Python 3 version? I'm happy to take responsibility for any errors I've introduced.

There might be a new release of grin soon (#4)

[matthew-brett]

@itziakos - do you know something we don't? Yes, a new release would be great.

oops, I was actually trying to reference your comment and added my comment here by mistake. I do not have any additional information. Sorry for the confusion.

[matthew-brett]

@itziakos - no problem - just hoping that you'd heard some news :)

[rkern]

@matthew-brett Invitation sent. When you have your fork set up, I'll lock this one. Thank you!

[matthew-brett]

Thanks Robert - invitation accepted. I have a fork with a master branch - is there something else I should do?

[rkern]

You'll want to update the metadata and URLs in the setup.py and README.

[matthew-brett]

Done, I think. I've left you as the 'author_email' and added myself as 'maintainer'.
