Its been a while. Any plan for merging this @platelminto. I'm planning to add more changes.

Hey, sorry for taking a while to look at this.

I've tried to keep this library source-compatible with Python 2.7 & 3.5 - many of the things you've added explicitly (or implicitly) change things that would make Python 3.7 the minimum supported version. From what I can see, this is mostly to handle non-English character-sets more easily.

You've done a lot with this PR - including a lot of code clean-up that, honestly, I would never have gotten to. Thanks a lot for that! If you think it's too much of a hassle to change things to remain compatible with Python 2.7, I will happily make this library Python 3.7+, and accept this PR (after I review all changes in more detail). If you think you can still change things to remain 2.7-compatible, that'd be amazing, but otherwise I'm happy to move on.

Let me know what you think.

Im not sure if anyone using python2 for new development. But its up to you. Btw i have moved to another torrent parsing library since you're not active on this.

Ah fair enough, thanks :)
