Yes.  A lot of preliminary work has been done; the current version
announces upcoming deprecation of anything older than 2.7, primarily
because that's the floor for making 2 and 3 compatible code.

The existing code already has had some 2to3 runs done and some compatible
changes are already in place.  Unicode everywhere will be a big task I
think, because we don't know what the encoding of the compiler (or other
tool) output stream is, but shouldn't be overwhelming.

There's been a lot of discussion on this list.  At this point we are ready
to go, just need bodies and time to do it.
