How are you planning on handling the migration to Python 3?

Question

I\'m sure this is a subject that\'s on most python developers\' minds considering that Python 3 is coming out soon. Some questions to get us going in the right direction:

Answer 1

The Zope Toolkit has been in a slow progress to Python 3 support. Slow mainly because many of these libraries are very complex.

For most libraries I use 2to3. Some libraries make do without it because they are simple or have most of the code in a C-extension. zc.buildout, which is a related package, will run the same code without 2to3 for Python 2 and 3 support.

We port the ZTK to Python 3 because many other libraries and frameworks depend on it, such as Twisted and the Pyramid framework.
