[Scons-dev] Porting to Python 3 Redux

[Gary Oberbrunner]

Interesting python 3 porting article, "from the trenches".

http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/5/21/porting-to-python-3-redux/

The part I noticed:


   -

   Python 3.3 reintroduces bytes-to-bytes and string-to-string codecs that
   were broken in 3.1 and 3.2. Unfortunately the interface for them is
   clunkier now and the aliases are missing, but it's much closer to what we
   had in 2.x than before.

   This is particularly useful if you did stream based encoding and
   decoding. That functionality was plain missing between 3.0 up until 3.3.

Do you all think we can get away with ignoring 3.x, x<3?  Are most python 3
users staying current?  I have no idea myself, being a python 2 guy (still).
