Migrate CI from Travis to GitHub Actions with Python 2.7 and 3.11

[Copilot]

Transform Travis CI to GitHub Actions

Plan

• Explore repository structure and understand current CI setup
• Update .gitignore to exclude build artifacts
• Create GitHub Actions workflow file
  • Add workflow configuration for Python 2.7 and Python 3.11
  • Use container for Python 2.7 (setup-python doesn't support it)
  • Configure test execution with unittest discover
• Update README.rst to replace Travis CI badge with GitHub Actions badge
• Update documentation badge (docs/index.rst)
• Review and validate all changes
• Fix security issues (add explicit permissions)
• Address feedback: Use python:2.7-slim container for Python 2.7
• Remove Coveralls integration and Travis CI files
• Update test runner to use unittest discover (Python 3.11 compatibility)

Changes Made

1. Added .github/workflows/ci.yml: GitHub Actions workflow that:

   • Tests Python 2.7 using container: python:2.7-slim (setup-python doesn't support 2.7)
   • Tests Python 3.11 using actions/setup-python@v5
   • Installs dependencies with pip
   • Runs tests with python -m unittest discover -s tests (compatible with Python 3.11)
   • Includes explicit permissions (contents: read) for security best practices

2. Deleted .travis.yml: Removed legacy Travis CI configuration file

3. Updated README.rst: Replaced Travis CI badge with GitHub Actions badge

4. Updated docs/index.rst: Replaced Travis CI badge with GitHub Actions badge

5. Updated .gitignore: Added *.egg-info/ to exclude build artifacts

Security Summary

• All security checks passing with 0 alerts
• Explicit permissions set on all jobs

@copilot isn't supported you should use

test-python27:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container: python:2.7-slim

@copilot remove coveralls and travis related code

Removed .travis.yml file and all Coveralls integration from the GitHub Actions workflow. The workflow now simply runs tests with python setup.py test. Commit: 8364151

@copilot seems python3.11 doesnt' suport python setup.py tests with tests_suite='tests' in setup.py can you change the aproach? maybe python -m unittest discover

Changed both Python 2.7 and 3.11 jobs to use python -m unittest discover -s tests instead of python setup.py test. This approach is compatible with Python 3.11 and doesn't rely on the deprecated test_suite setup.py parameter. Commit: f5dc79c
