I run deken on python3 which is default on my Linux setup. All the time, I run into this old bug. amnong/easywebdav#46
The fix is easy but seeing how unmaintained the easywebdav project is, it is not likely to receive new patches.
Can deken move to a fork which is well maintained? At first glance, there is easywebdav2 in pypi, it has received the python3 patches.
