Recently, John Keyes (a ccc-gistemp volunteer) converted ccc-gistemp to Python 3 using 2to3 and some hand edits. It's a few thousand lines of code. I could write up a few notes and present this as a short case study. If we wanted to get our hands dirty, we could try converting PyPNG (my much neglected pure python PNG library) to Python 3. Clearly I need to do it some time, but I've never run 2to3 on it yet. It's around 1000 lines, so a feasibly small project.
