Your plans sound good for us. 

But we're just releasing a product hosting IronPython 2.6.2, as we're
still bound to .NET 2.0 for some months, but our plans to upgrade to
.NET 4.0 are on the way. So we are interested in smooth migration paths
for our customers.

Will it be possible to integrate / host both python 2.x (2.7.x) and 3.x
in the same application?

And is there some mechanism to auto-recognize whether a Script is python
2.x or 3.x syntax? Maybe some "from __future__ import Python3" or
something?

If there's work needed in that area, maybe I can convince my seniors
that we contribute.

(I used to work a lot with Python and contribute to free projects in
some of my former working places...)

Best regards

Markus Schaber
