[NLPL Task Force (A)] early feedback

[Martin Matthiesen]

Deae Asad,
Thanks for your feedback! I have a few follow-up questions. We made a conscious decision to only support Python3, is there a reasonably easy way to get your code running in Python3? Is the 2.7 code your own code or is it a third-party tool?
Regards,
Martin
