Research direction
This is a tracking issue for the Python 2 to 3 migration of the Modern Honey Network. Since it's a broad rewrite, the first step is to inventory all Python files and dependencies. Look at the repository's setup.py or requirements.txt to identify libraries that need updating. Check for common Python 2 idioms (e.g., print statement, urllib2, etc.) and plan a compatibility layer using `six` or `2to3`. The issue has no assignees or linked PRs, so it's open for anyone to start. However, due to the scope, a newcomer would need to break it into smaller sub issues. Consider using `python modernize` to generate a report.
