Pardon me if this has already been mentioned, but I didn't see it, and 
this is big big news.

The latest release of numpy now supports Python 2.x and 3.x out of a 
single code base, and Scipy is predicted to follow soon.

If I can take the liberty of quoting Pauli Virtanen:

    An important point is that supporting Python 3 and Python 2 
    in the same code base can be done, and it is not very difficult
    either. It is also much preferable from the maintenance POV to
    creating separate branches for Python 2 and 3.


Well done to all those who contributed to the effort!
