Any plans on supporting python2?

[seanbell]

I haven't looked into the code closely enough to see how easy it would be to port to python2, but I'm curious why you require python3?

+1 on this. I'm using this in a Python project and the Python 3 dependency creates alot of awkwardness.

[BradNeuberg]

I'd like to take a stab at converting the codebase to Python 2.7. What specific Python3 features do you use so I can see if this is feasible?

[BradNeuberg]

Looking through the code base I actually don't see any Python 3 features actually being used. Does one of the libraries selective search depends on have Python 3 dependencies?

FYI I've forked selective_search.py and back ported it to Python 2.7; I've also gotten it running on Mac OS X. The fork:

I can submit this upstream if @belltailjp is interested.
