Incompatibility with Python3: unichr

Consider the following console output:

Python 3 compatibility is currently achieved through 2to3, you have to install rdflib with pip or do `python setup.py install` to trigger it. For rdflib 5.0 we'll get rid of 2to3 and have code that runs unchanged for both 2 and 3. - Gunnar

O.k., I understand. The only downside for the current setup is, of course, that one has then to install the library twice if one has both python2 and python3 (which is still the case for me, because there are some other libraries that work only with Python2). But if rdflib 5.0 gets rid of this, then that is perfect. (I know it is a difficult question, but any planned time for that one?) Thanks

We want get one more bug-fix release for 4.X out first, I'd like to aim for Q1 2017 for this. Then we'll start on 5.0. Given the usual activity around here, I wouldn't hold my breath for 2017 :)
