My main concern is due to the large number of changes needed in order to make it Python 3 compatible. Because the file formats involved are all binary data and there are significant differences in that between Python 2 and 3, I suspect that it will take many hours of work to fix the plugin.

Then there is the problem of testing all of the features of the plugin to see if the changes have broken them. There is no test suite or existing collection of all of the file types that are needed for testing.
