migrate to API version 3 due to v2 being deprecated

[mbunkus]

I just received the email from Transifex about API versions 2 & 2.5 being deprecated. They'll be shut off in 2022-04-07.

Looking at txlib/urls.py it looks like the transifex-client is using API version 2. Obviously it'll need to be updated to v3 before April 2022.

Filing this issue both to track the conversion & to raise awareness for users of transifex-client that they'll have to update before April 2022.

The aforementioned email helpfully states:

If you rely on a script, integration, or app that makes requests using versions 2 and 2.5, you'll need to update it to use version 3, as soon as possible.

True, but transifex-client isn't using API v3 yet; therefore updating doesn't actually help at the moment.

Hello,

We are definitely aware that the Transifex Client needs to be updated to use the new API 3.0. I cannot give a timeframe for when it will be available, but we are very aware of the dates mentioned.

Kind regards,

Hello again,

I wanted to inform everybody here that rewriting the Transifex Client to support APIv3 is a part of the Q2-2021 planned roadmap.

Hello,

An Alpha version of the aforementioned new client just went public. Feel free to check it out if you want; any feedback is more than welcome.

Keep in mind it is an alpha release so we would not advise trusting it for production work.

Is this the reason for tx from version 0.12.5 (as installed by pip install transifex-client) saying

tx ERROR: Exception: This version of API is obsolete. Please have a look at https://developers.transifex.com/reference/api-introduction for details.

?
OK, I see. https://github.com/transifex/transifex-client says this project is dead in favor of https://github.com/transifex/cli
Confusing. Any chance to close this github project completely? And remove it from pip?
