I'm new here. I am sorry if this idea has already been discussed, but I have not found a way to search this list (I am not used to mailing lists at all).
I've seen recently some discussion in reddit about python 2 vs python 3, and the slow adoption of the latter. I am proposing here pragmatic way to speed up the process of porting old code and thus solving the split in the community, that I believe it is a serious threat. It is not clean, not at all, but it might work: just give python 2 whiners what they [we] want, and do it using "from __past__ import", in a similar way "from __future__ import" is used.
Hi,
You may want to read through http://python-notes.curiousefficiency.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_an... before lending too much weight to ill-informed Reddit commentary.
My apologies, that was rather rude of me when you're offering to help (I'm irritable at the moment since I've deemed it necessary to spend a bunch of time over the past week updating my Python 3 Q & A rather than enjoying my Christmas holidays, working on Python 3.4 or, this week, enjoying linux.conf.au 2014).
Please know that we all love you a bit more for that :) Georg
