[Python.NET] python 3.0

[Brian Lloyd]

Hi Guillaume ­ the runtime is very sensitive to internal structural changes
in 
the CPython runtime, so I¹m sure there would be some work involved. Some
things I can think of off the top of my head:

  - unicode changes / bytes type (this could be a giant pain)

  - int / long unification

  - need to support views and iterators

  - exception hierarchy changes

  - extension api changes

It¹s probably enough work that it will take someone committed and invested
to make it happen...
