Without using 2to3, yes. See http://code.google.com/p/python-incompatibility/ where I've attempted to document most 2.5/3.0 incompatibilities and explain how to get around them to run the same unmodified code under 2.6 and 3.0.

Then it's going to be dead easy to support both 2.x and 3.x by using 2to3. If you don't want to have separate packages youcan use distribute: http://packages.python.org/distribute/python3.html Also see my talk at PyCon: http://pycon.blip.tv/file/1949281/ -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
