Syntax error while installing Python3

[AkhilJPatil]

Not sure if transitfeed is ready for python3!
Already went through #493, #412 and response by pecalleja 4 months ago.

Tried installing the transitfeed module on
windows 10, Python version: 3.5.2
and ubuntu 18.04.3, Python version: 3.6.9

Getting below syntax error. Is there an error free alternate file availble at some other path or should just remove the syntax locally and try to install it.

there is a fork with python3 support but you need to manually install from sources. follow these steps ** : 1 - clone the python3 fork and change to python3 branch # git clone https://github.com/pecalleja/transitfeed.git # cd transitfeed # git checkout python3 2 - create a virtual environment and activate it # virtualenv -p python3 venv # source venv/bin/activate 3 - Install the requirements # pip install -r requirements.txt 4 - install the package # python setup.py install 5 - run all test # nosetests -x -vv tests (** no tested in windows)

If there's not, I'll do the work, but probably need a little guidance from the maintainers wrt what they'd like in a PR. Please advise.

In the util.py file change the import urllib2 to import urllib and that will solve this issue and install on the latest version of Python
