To expand on what others have said in this thread, here's another approach you might consider: 1) Open up twisted/scripts/trial.py and look at what Twisted modules it imports. 2) If you do this, you'll see it uses (among other things) twisted.python.usage. 3) Look at admin/_twistedpython3.py, you'll see that twisted.python.usage hasn't been ported yet. 4) Look at twisted/python/usage.py and you'll see it doesn't have very many Twisted dependencies (making it a better candidate for porting work than twisted/scripts/trial.py). Look through the tracker to see if there's a ticket for porting any of these. As it turns out, twisted.python.util has already been ported and there are tickets for twisted.python.reflect (#6239 - sort of) and twisted.python.text (#1601 and #6341 - sort of). 5) Pick up one of those dependency tickets to start with - #1601 and #6341 seem to be in progress, but I don't see anyone actively working on #6239. 6) Port that module by making its test suite pass and generally following the steps given the Python 3 porting page on the wiki.
