Comment #2 on issue 1506 by zimmermann.c...@gmail.com: Python 3 support
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1506

Hi. I've also wanted to use Robot Framework with Python 3 for a while. Last week I found some time and just took a look at how hard it could get. And then I just couldn't stop... ;)
I created a robotframework-python3 fork on Bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/userzimmermann/robotframework-python3

It's already working really well. Only 109/3111 critical atests still failing, mainly because some std libs like OS and some atests themselves need some further changes. It remains fully compatible with Python 2.5+. I use a combination of 2to3 and manual changes and tried to make the latter as small and unugly as possible.

I prepended some further explanations to the README.txt. For a complete diff look at:

https://bitbucket.org/userzimmermann/robotframework-python3/compare/default..c148e32#diff

If you like my approach I would be happy about some discussion regarding the missing changes. Especially the _Process communication bytes/str issues in OS lib. Better run Popen in text mode or better decode/encode stdin/stdout on demand?...
