No, we don't have the manpower to have two code bases - the C code handles both versions, and the python 2 code is converted to python 3 "on the fly". We are lucky not to have too much IO / string handling, which are the hard things to handle with 2to3. The hard part was NumPy, because it used the python C api so much. Porting scipy to something somewhat usable was an half-day job, cheers, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
