Python-3

[Randall Whitman]

Today I was looking at Python-3.

Reinhard/anyone, have you thought any about the approach to Python-3 for GNUe:
* try to single-source for both Python-2 & Python-3;
* compatibility library <http://packages.python.org/six/> ;
* separate branches of some sort;
* use 2to3 in build script when targeting Python-3 (or 3to2 for Python-2);
* support 2.6+ only, vs. 2.5- also;
* other?
