I was talking about http://svn.zope.org/zope.psycopgda/trunk/ Is that not the right source? In any case, using 2to3 for applications is even easier than using it for libraries, assuming there is an installation procedure for the application. >> > The Plone collective works like this, and it is *not* >> > reasonably well managed, so there software quite often doens't get >> > released, but people run against trunk. >> >> And that's fine.

To me "run against trunk" means that I check out some source, then run "setup.py install" (or buildout, or make). This will invoke 2to3 behind the scenes. I don't know exactly how plone works, but I could imagine that it's also possible to run 2to3 when plone "loads" a "component" (and I'm sure I'm using the wrong words here). > Maybe it's not apparent to people that hasn't developed in that kind > of environment, and I'm sorry I'm not able to make this clearer. But > that's just the way it is. I guess I could better understand with a very specific example. You gave Django as a very specific example, and I looked at Django, and it works just fine with 2to3. "The Plone collective" is not a specific example, as it doesn't allow me to reproduce your problems. What is the specific thing I would want to do with it, and what specific source repository do I need to check out to do that?
