Python 3 conversion?

[dprestegard]

Any chance we could get this converted to Python 3?

I tried the trusty old 2to3 but it blows up after thumbnail generation:

Btw you can check my fork for python3 compatibility and minor improvements

hi, it's not working out of the box, could you just rewrite her script in python3 language? thanks

the issue you see if your script works for one video at a time. this script is called batchsprites for a reason, this is what I use to do:

cd to videos dir
ls -d -1 $PWD/.mp4 > videos.txt
python batchsprites.py videos.txt

all videos in the folder would have a sprite conversion job.

Hey, I guess I've added feature you needed. Check it if you still need it.
And it is more a feature request rather than an issue so I don't think it is relevant to request it here :)

yes and no. basically what op asked was a translation of the original script to python3. so we wouldn't lose any functionalities
