| Two additional transformations will be added to the 2to3 translation tool 
[3]:
|
|    * Method definitions named next will be renamed to __next__.
|    * Explicit calls to the next method will be replaced with calls to
| the built-in next function. For example, x.next() will become next(x).

As I mentioned before, the above does not seem to cover the case of 
non-call attribute lookups, as when making instance bindings, that also 
need the name changed.  IE  gnext = g.next needs to be changed to gnext = 
g.__next__.  Have you included such cases?
