Python3 version of webtoons.py file from Galactus03/webtoons, with some more resiliency and functions better as a module

Webtoons site scraper, for Python 3

Note: this module was based off of this repository for Python2. Big thanks to @Galactus03!

I added more resiliency to the functions, transferred all code to Python3 syntax, fixed quite some bugs, and made it return results.

---

This module has these functions:

popularity_age(age, sex, toShow) -> takes in parameters age, sex, and toShow. If not given, random.choice chooses age and sex, and toShow defaults to integer 5. Returns list of toShow amount of the most popular webtoons based on age and sex.

author_comics(author) -> takes in parameter author. Returns list of all comics that the specified author has created.

new_releases(toShow) -> takes in parameter toShow. Returns list of toShow amount of webtoons that were updated today

top10_of_day() -> takes in no parameters. Returns list of the top 10 most popular comics today.

best_rated(toShow) -> takes in parameter toShow. Returns list of toShow amount of the most popular webtoons.

top_in_genre(g, toShow) -> takes in parameters g and toShow. Returns list of toShow amount of the most popular comics in genre g.
