python-xmltv on github

[dcesari]

@jimfunk I came across your old python xmltv package on pypi and I am using it for a personal project. Although unmaintained, it works well and it is the only standalone xmltv coder/decoder I found in python. I did not find any source repo for it, just the tar d/l link, I would like to publish some modifications, such as port to python3 and possibly a command line tool, so I created this repo. I do not want to steal anybody's work, so, if you prefer, you can host it in your github space, in that case I will erase this repo and fork yours.

When Bitbucket killed Mercurial, I moved it to https://hg.sr.ht/~jfunk/python-xmltv but it seems it's unfindable now. I planned on migrating to Github, but have not done that yet. However, I have not used this code in many years, so I am happy to have somebody take over.

Thank you very much for your reply and for indicating the repository. I did not try to import the full sourcehut repository, since it appeared not straightforward to migrate Hg to git, however I reproduced by hand the commits after 1.4.3 merging with my port to python3 which was already made in a similar way.
I already pushed these modifications here. If it is satisfactory I can take over the maintainment, thanks.
