Research direction

Start by reproducing the pattern package import under Python 3 and inspect how it depends on the sgmllib library. Confirm whether the failure is caused by the removed Python 3 library and identify the supported installation or compatibility path. Done means pattern can be installed and imported without the reported sgmllib error.

Description

I am having issues with the pattern package since it requires the use of sgmllib library. I have been doing some reading, and it seems like this library was removed from Python3. Does anyone have an idea of how to install the package or how to find it?
