Comment on Python 2.8 Un-release Schedule

Comments

There really should be an effort to get people to write new code in python3 and use 3to2 to backport (rather than writing in python2 and using 2to3 to convert).

The biggest obstacle there is the lack of setuptools/distribute integration. It's easy to run 2to3 at install time when your source distribution is python2, but there's no support for going in the other direction.
