Update color support

[toddkarin]

Thanks for making this package! It is really useful. I am having trouble getting colorpy to work though and colorpy does not seem to be actively maintained. Any chance that you could update the color calculations to use colormath instead?

I'm happy if somebody does that, but I don't plan to do it myself. I think it would take more time than I want to spend.

Just to be clear, I haven't checked that colormath is a good fit and has all the needed features. I am taking your word for that.

I'll leave this issue open, maybe someone will be inspired to do this someday.

Actually, as of right now, colormath says "This module is no longer actively maintained." So it's not obvious to me that it's worth the effort to switch from one not-maintained color calculator to a different not-maintained color calculator.

The fact that python-3-compatible colorpy is not installable with pip is annoying, but also extremely easy to fix, since there is already a python-3-compatible colorpy on github. (In fact, two of them I think.) Someone just needs to upload it to the python package index, under a new name (or ask whoever owns the colorpy name to transfer ownership).

I don't know if your problem with colorpy goes beyond that.

Thanks for looking into it, I have written color calculations for my purposes and will consider sharing in the future.

Hi,

With these changed files, I can use it in Python 3. You can try it.

I can confirm: cloning the latest code from https://github.com/fish2000/ColorPy and installing it with pip install . worked for me.
Looking forward for the next ColorPy 0.1.2 release.

Looking forward for the next ColorPy 0.1.2 release.

Don't hold your breath, it's been inactive for the past decade.
