It would be great to have Python3 support. A couple other projects I am involved with have recently switch to a single code base (to avoid the need to do the 2to3 dance), and they have reported very positively about their experience. If you are interested, here is an excellent summary of how the SymPy project handles things (they dropped support for Python <= 2.5 though, not sure how possible that is for protbuf). http://ondrejcertik.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-to-support-both-python-2-and-3.html I believe the numpy, scipy, ipython, and matplotlib folks are also doing this, or are very close to having it done. One of the SymPy maintainers worked for Continuum over the summer and posted about this here as well: http://asmeurersympy.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/python-3-single-codebase-vs-2to3/ http://asmeurersympy.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/using-python-3-as-my-default-python/ Anyway, if you want me to review any patches, ping me and I'll try to do so.
