In fact, I think that would only be confusing. The Python 3 version should work for Python 2 as well.I think you don't see my point : making a pure Python 3 version, without any backward compatibility issues / bootstraping , fight against setuptoolsdistribution. Then backporting it in 0.7 But 0.8 would not be 2.x compatible.
At PyCon09 there was some talk about a "3to2" tool, specially for issue: allow package maintainers to work in Python 3 and automaticly generate a Python 2 version. I have no idea if anyone is actually working on such a tool though.
