Back in March in the thread:

Martin v. Löwis indicated he had made an attempt at getting 2to3 to
work on Django to see how it would work under Python 3.0. From that
various bits of code were identified in Django which could be changed
to make the 2to3 process work more cleanly.

My question is, was any of that acted upon and Django tweaked to make
it more friendly to use of 2to3, or are we still at square one as far
as being able to move forward on getting Django working on Python 3.0?
Also, was the converted code from what Martin did even captured
anywhere so that people could look/play with it?

My reason for asking is that now that patches are available for Python
3.0 (albeit not in Python subversion repository yet), that fix
problems which were stopping mod_wsgi working entirely properly under
Python 3.0, it would be nice to have access to a sizeable Python web
application to try on top of mod_wsgi with Python 3.0 to make sure it
is doing the correct thing. It works fine with basic WSGI
applications, but until one tries a more sizeable application one will
not know for sure. Part of what needs to be done is validate that the
proposed changes to WSGI specification for Python 3.0 are even
reasonable or need more work.

At the moment, Django is the only large framework I know of where any
decent attempt has been made to get it to work with Python 3.0. Am
sure that some here would also like to have crowing rights on being
able to say that Django is first large Python framework to Python
3.0. :-)
