Any chance of upgrading it for python 3?

[mehedi-shafi]

I know I'm coming to it a decade later. But a project of mine uses this package. Is there any chance of upgrading it to python-3?
I tried doing it myself by updating paver to latest version then running the setup.py it throws the following error.

× python setup.py develop did not run successfully.
