I read that one, but I got the impression that changes are all local. Why would one want to move things between modules just because it uses py3k syntax? It looks to me that basically the same structures should work for both. Maybe I am missing something fundamental here.
The syntax changes are fairly radical. For example, how would you catch named exceptions (and assign to a variable) in a way that works for both 3.x and 2.x? There is an ugly but workable way, but I'd just like to check if you've understood the problem.

    Sorry for being stupid. I did not see Python py3k yet. I saw no
    need. I use Python because it is available everywhere.
    I thought that py3k was just some syntactical different dialect.
    But obviously it is more. Does it have completely new data types
    and does it not support the types from 2.x any more?
    This should answer most of your questions:

        no, it's not really possible, because many types were moved
        between modules, or completely dropped.
        also, the object model has changed a little, and since
        netrefs play with the low-level stuff, they have to be adapted.
        all in all, the syntax part is the least of our concerns.
        I've done quite a bit of py3k porting work myself, so could
        you be a little more specific? Maybe I can address those
        concerns.

            Sorry for asking this stupid question, but is there any
            good python preprocessor out there that can support the
            version problem so that the code can look nice, but
            still comes from a common code base?

                IMHO they just pay to have someone to put the blame
                on. :).
