Hi there, just want to check if there is any plan or effort for this. If not, I can try to help. Thanks!

Hey @MQQ! So far, I haven't had the time, but if you're willing to, I'd be super happy to accept any PRs. :) Thank you!

[MQQ]

ok, I will see what I can do in the next week or two. :)

@dlo Here is a quick PR for 2/3 compatible. #43

Notes:

1. The biggest problem is that python-cloudfiles is a very outdated package, and I can't find a straightforward replacement after quickly searching around. I myself also never used the rackspace cloud so I have no idea. I currently put a python2 marker in the setup.py so that python-cloudfiles will only be installed in python2, which means the rackspace backend will fail under python3.

2. I have to relax the version requirement for gitpython, since the old gitpython was also not compatible to python2. It seems the most recent gitpython==2.1.11 works fine.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

@dlo Sorry for pushing this. But it would be great if this can be resolved earlier, which will really help my current project workflow. Thanks!
