Hi Matti, What prevent us from starting right now is a the work of getting rid of the template type conversions (for the purpose of size reduction and not having to export the generated module headers). By its nature that task is causing a good deal of changes in the generator code, in a way that making it parallel with the Python 3 work would mean hell for everyone. On the bright side, as the converter work progress the generator code (and a little of the libshiboken code) get more fit for the Python 3 changes. I think there's only one more change in the generator and then we go to Python 3. That's why I suggested updating the tests first, because they're the only thing that can be made in parallel at this point.
