I'm -0 on backporting nonlocal to 2.7. I could be +0 if we added "from __future__ import nonlocal_keyword" (or some such phrasing) to enable it.
With the "from __future__" option, what keeps you from being a full +1 on nonlocal? Is there something that makes it a better solution for 3.x than 2.x? Just curious about the pros and cons from your point of view.
I think the number of projects that can afford to drop support for 2.6 is pretty limited, so I think the utility of the feature is thereby also limited.
