how would you figure this? patching during setup? install different file
versions? sounds messy.

The distribute package has some support for doing this cleanly. You can
put the following in your setup.py:
extra = {}if sys.version_info = (3, 0):
extra.update(
use_2to3=True,
use_2to3_fixers=['custom_fixers']
)
And put custom 2to3 code that the tool didn't fix
sounds reasonable.. could you please post some link and/or source comment these
changes extensively so it'd be easier for other devs to reuse, add to your
changes?

With setup.py almost anything is possible, but I would be suspicious of
converting 2to3 on the fly. I think it would have to be a separate code
base and separate repositories. One code base could be possible once we
drop versions below 2.6.

Separate repositories seems like a non-starter to me. Since we aren't
ready to drop 2.4, I think converting on the fly is a reasonable offering
until we are. We don't have to officially support it, but I think it's a
workable step on the path to Python 3 support.

you once tried to maintain a second branch 0.7 .. i don't think this is a way
to go considering man power vs. doubled maintenance effort.
i agree with Michael on the we have to try attitude. the setup approach
allows to start with the adaption while still keeping our stable python2 code
base.
My personal push for Python 3 support is because Ubuntu is pushing to be
able to ship only Python 3 on the desktop image. (Plus, Python 2.7 is the
last Python 2.x. We're at the end of that life line.)
In that context, dropping support for Python 2.4 is important because it is
vastly simpler to
as we don't really have hurry with that decision i vote for keeping an eye out
how stable the next 0.6 release works out, and reconsidering a move to a
python2.6+ duplicity 0.7 again thereafter.

Hello! Yet another thread on the slow march to Python 3 support.
The last place we left it was that Ubuntu was considering throwing some
effort behind porting duplicity and maintaining such a patch themselves.
That didn't happen for manpower reasons.
But I notice that Red Hat just passed (Jan
