Hi Ed,
Thanks for your kind words. We've worked really hard to let our users
get the most of IPython without configuring anything with text files or
magics.
There has been a lot work to port Spyder to Python 3, but not in our 2.2
repo but in our 2.1 one. I know it sounds strange, but 2.2 was about to
be released and we didn't want to delay it until Python 3 support was added.
So Pierre, our lead developer, took our 2.1 repo and started to port it
to see how hard it could be. You can download it with mercurial from here:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/checkout?repo=v21
and test it with 3.2 or 3.3. Pierre took the u(...) approach and I think
added future imports everywhere. Try to use it and tell us how things
work for you. After 2.2 is released, that work would be the base to port
the new code base for 2.3.
Cheers,
Carlos

Hi everyone,
I'm very impressed with Spyder, especially the new IPython Qt console
integration. Thanks for all your hard work. The latest release is
great! It has come a long way even in the last couple of months.
I'd like to help out with the Python 3.x port. Where would I start?
Which is the right branch to work on? Has a decision made about
whether to support only 3.3+ or to use the u(...) function everywhere
for unicode/string compatibility? Is there a general plan of attack
... maybe something like first converting the codebase to using from
__future__ imports everywhere? (print_function, division,
absolute_import)? (I see that there's a smattering of these at the
moment but it's not consistent.) Would you take the same approach as
in the experimental 2.1.14 branch, or are there lessons you learned
from this port that would spur you to do it differently next time?
Best wishes,
Ed
