python 3 or pypy support

[tingletech]

I need to migrate to either pypy or python 3 after Jan 2020. Any ideas for a good migration path for a python2 project that uses akara and needs to be migrated?

[tingletech]

specifically, with pypy -- there seems to be a problem here -- at least on Mac OS

Oh goodness! I'm a bit stumped on how to help. I haven't even looked at the Amara 2 codebase for probably five years. It's been all Amara 3 for me, which I know doesn't help because that isn't compatible with Akara (I've also left off Akara in favor of combining custom aiohttp server code with Amara 3).

Looking at those gcc errors I wonder whether updating the embedded expat to 2.2.8 would do the trick (i.e. putting that in lib/src/expat/lib/). That would also have the advantage of patching the recent security bugs in expat.

I tried that— but it was missing a util.c Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

FWIW, it looks like the expat there has been modified as part of the domlette work
