When this came up earlier (when I think Chris McDonough raised it) the issue of what to do on 3.2 came up, and though it has been addressed somewhat in the PEP, it would be nice to see the suggested on-installation hook fleshed out a little more. I wanted to do that but the tokenizer module is quite ugly to customize in order to allow "u" prefixes to strings which is why I postponed that. It would work similar to how 2to3 is invoked however.
In case this PEP gets approved I will refactor the tokenize module while adding support for "u" prefixes and use that as the basis for a installation hook for older Python 3 versions. Regards, Armin
