Converting Django project from Python 2 to Python 3: pip3 install django_comments NameError unicode

System info: 64-bit OS-X, Python 3.7

I am converting a Django website from Python 2 to Python 3. To do this, I ran 2to3 on the whole project. I then installed all of the required modules in INSTALL_APPS in settings.py - except one: django_comments.

(env) user:languages user$ pip3 install django_comments

I have found that this may be related to compatibility with Python 3 and that one potential fix is to replace unicode with str. However, this is a module that I would like to work in Python 3 since the Django project relies on this for comments currently. Is it deprecated essentially with no way to work outside of retooling it myself? Thank you.

I know this is a little late but I believe the django_comments was moved to django-contrib-comments. Here should be the latest documentation.
