Why would that be a short-term fix? It would work for the entire life time of Python 3, and can be easily extended for Python 4, so it sounds like a permanent solution to me. As a permanent solution, you need to keep the problem statement in mind, though: to allow people to determine whether a package works with Python 3. > the metadata of a package should provide this information imho. Well, the classifiers *are* part of the metadata of the package.
