<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">So, I did some research and found that it would be best to port sugar in the following way:</p><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">
1) Resolve the dependency issue - mainly telepathy . Telepathy-python has been deprecated , so what would be the best way to deal with this? Would it best to just port it to python3 or something else?</p><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">

<p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">1) Choose a single module.</p><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">2)Port the tests carefully and if there is not full test coverage , write some additional tests.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">3) Update the code carefully to pass the tests.</p><p style="margin:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">
