It is easy already. However, as long as Python3 is not yet as widely used as
Python2 I might have the need to maintain both variants :( That said, most of
the new development is done on eric5 with just a few things backported to
eric4.

What does the eric community suggest?
AFAIK Eric5 isn't even packaged on Ubuntu (not even on 12.04)... until it's there, Eric4 is "where its at". Given that I use Python 3 not at all (not even on new projects started in the last month), I can't say the Python-3-ness really makes me want to switch to it... That said, if *only* Eric5 was available (pre-packaged), I would *likely* just switch to that, as in point of fact I seldom actually interact with Eric's source code (other than to generate project files programmatically). It might take me an hour to port that script over, at which point I would really cease to care what language Eric is implemented in.
