[reportlab-users] Python 3000

Hi,

Python 3000 is out! This leads directly to the question what Reportlab
planning about supporting this new major release of Python which is
incompatible with Python 2.x?

I tried to translate the TRUNK using the new "2to3" tool and the process
worked fine without errors. But the a sample I tried did not work
because of some errors regarding type checking. I could imagine that
this could be quite a big task to get Reportlab compatible with Python3k
though. Another problem could be that the PIL modules do not support
Python3k yet too.

So what are you planning? And what would be the roadmap and the
milestones and when to expect them? Did someone already try to migrate
and has experiences with this?

Cheers,
Dirk
