Hi all, My name is Aaron Maxwell. I've started lurking on this list lately as I'm intending to use scikit-learn for a project later this month. I've also been coding primarily in Python 3.x for over 18 months, and have ported several Python 2.x libraries to Python 3. Generally speaking, supporting Python 2.6 will not significantly hinder you from also supporting Python 3, due to language features that were added/backported into that version. To keep Python 2.5 compat would make it much more difficult, so I'm glad to read that you are all planning to not support it. Given that it seems many people would like to continue using scikit-learn on 2.6, it seems an easy decision to keep 2.6 compat. If I do indeed end up using sklearn for this project - and it's looking like that will happen - I'll be happy to assist with the py3k effort.
