Digigng into mailing list archives, we discussed this four years ago for previous Port to Python 3 GSoC project [1]. There was also a discussion in March 2014 [2]. Rahul, please read the threads for background information. Very interesting.
It was pointed out that collaboration will need care in testing. I agree. It was also said that the Fedora 18 development entrapment for the OLPC XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75, and XO-4 made a port to Python 3 less attractive. With these OLPC XO units now failing from old age, and newer Ubuntu-based laptops available, this development entrapment is less of a problem than in 2014. I don't plan to package Sugar for Fedora 18 with Python 3, but will instead maintain Python 2 branches for as long as they are needed.
