Somewhere in the wiki there are porting guidelines.

If you manage to write the code in a way that 2to3 can convert it to 3.x without any problems, then you don't have to distribute the 3.x sources at all. Just run 2to3 on the target system as part of the install process. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Porting pyftpdlib to Python 3.x: question about tarball naming convention
Hi, I've started the (hard) process of porting pyftpdlib [1] to Python 3. In order to do that I'm working on a separate SVN branch and I plan to maintain two different releases of my software, one for 2.x and another one for 3.x. My doubts are about the naming convention I have to use for the tarball and how it affects the integration with distutils and setuptools. So far I've always used the following naming convention: pyftpdlib-0.5.2.tar.gz pyftpdlib-0.5.1.tar.gz pyftpdlib-0.4.1.tar.gz ... This way I'm able to download and "easy install" pyftpdlib by just doing: > easy_install pyftpdlib ...which retrieves the last pyftpdlib version (0.5.2, at the moment) from PYPI and installs it. Now that I'm going to have two major releases (pyftpdlib-0.5.2 for Python 2.x and pyftpdlib-0.5.2 for Python 3.x) how am I supposed to deal with that? Do I have to use a different name like "pyftpdlib-0.5.2-py3k.tar.gz" or "pyftpdlib-py3k-0.5.2.tar.gz"? How this affects the interaction with easy install? And again: in case it is possible to keep the same tarball name for both versions what am I gonna do with PYPI? Is it possible to host two programs with the same name on PYPI and just differentiate the description (e.g. "pyftpdlib version for python 2.x" / "pyftpdlib version for python 3.x") Thanks in advance [1] http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
