Indeed, definite thanks to Neal for getting things moving.

Everyone I know who has gone with the policy of 2.6/2.7 codebase with a
script to use 2to3 to create a Python 3 version has said "forget it it
doesn't work". Yes use 2to3 to get a comparator version, but always go
with a single codebase that works with 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3, i.e. use the
result of 2to3 to guide editing the codebase that still works under 2.6
and 2.7 as well as 3.3.
I am assuming we will put:
from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function,
unicode_literals, division
as the first line in every file so that we write Python 3.3 that runs
under 2.6 and 2.7?
