I would be really surprised if 2.7 would simplify porting to 3.x. How could that possibly work? (and no, adding things like nonlocal to 2.7 doesn't making porting of a real application or library any easier, since the existing application or library simply doesn't use that keyword. In fact, no change to 2.x can reasonably simplify porting - only changes to 3.x might - except for changes to 2to3, which can simplify porting a lot. But 2to3 should be run under 3.x, IMO.)
