Python3 Support

[robputt]

Hi,

Most modern Linux distributions are packaging python-caffe only for Python3 and hence getting this up and running has been a pain for me, it would be super awesome if the sample script could be made Python3 friendly. I will probably tidy up what I have locally here to fix this and raise a PR.

Best Regards,

Rob

I have a fork of open_nsfw with Python3 support here: https://github.com/rahiel/open_nsfw--

Awesome I will check it out, but is there any chance to port this back into the upstream repo?

[rahiel]

As far as I can see, this repo is not maintained anymore. There are many pull requests left open. That's why I decided to fork it. This fork also has an additional goal of making it very easy to deploy the model in production.

I can upstream Python3 support if this repo becomes active again.

@rahiel, We don't have anyone to maintain this repo anymore, but we're more than happy to hand it off to community members to take on maintainership. Is this something you'd be interested in? Or would you simply be interested in upstreaming python 3 support? I can grant you write access either way.

Hey @BenLloydPearson, I am interested in maintaining this.

Do you think the HTTP REST interface I made at open_nsfw-- would be a fit for the main open_nsfw project? The benefit of a HTTP interface is that people can use it with any programming language they like.

I think the REST interface is interesting but I'd much prefer it if we could pass a multipart encoded file object, or a URL, something we can easily expand on. I agree we need a new maintainer for this, my main interest in OpenNSFW is for inclusion as a plugin in OpenStack Nemesis, it aims to make a file scanning API which provides intelligence about files. - https://github.com/openstack/nemesis

Currently you can already pass URLs to the API , I've made an issue for multipart encoded files (1#).
