I'll throw in my 2 cents too: I think machine based translation is iffy at best. I'm not the most up-to-date on py3k, but I have experience with other such projects (I wrote a Perl 5 to Perl 6 translator for Summer of Code 2006). This is just my opinion, but I think it would be best for Django (and most other python-based projects that are targeted at a large user bases) to wait until python 3 hits a version where it has stabilized and then do a port based on hand checking and modification of machine translated code.
In general, the more versions of a language targeted by a project, the less efficient the project is. I'd say py3k is a great chance to 'start clean' more or less: deprecate the python 2.x code and have Django for python 3 be the official release. Python 3 makes it easy to get the right version to the right people. There will be one distribution for python 2.x and one for python 3. Django currently supports so many versions of python because so many are in use. Python 3 is a great opportunity to trim this down, make development easier, and still have something to give those who cannot or will not upgrade to python 3. This is, after all, just my opinion. If you choose to go forward with it, or if this gets accepted for Summer of Code, good luck with it, I look forward to seeing what you produce.
