During the Language summit this past Thursday, pretty much everyone agreed that a python 3 to python 2 tool would be a very large improvement in helping developers be able to write "pure" python 3 code. The idea being a large project such as Django could completely cut over to Python3, but then run the 3to2 tool on the code based to continue to support version 2.x. I raised my hand to help move this along, I've spoke to Benjamin Peterson, and he's amendable to mentoring a GSoC student for this project and he's already received at least one proposal for this. Additionally, there's been a number of developers here at PyCon who are more than ready to help contribute. So, if people are interested in helping, coordinating work/etc - feel free to sync up with Benjamin - he's started a wiki page here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/3to2 I'll help coordinate where I can! -Jesse
