Upstream python 3 porting efforts

For those who aren't also subscribed to the python-dev mailing list :-), Dave and Neal's posts about fpconst sparked some interest in porting work there. Talking with Barry Warsaw we'd like to use the python-porting(a)python.org mailing list to coordinate efforts to port so that distros can help each other with this task rather than everybody reinventing the same patches: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-porting There's also a few wiki pages on wiki.python.org that we've decided to use as well: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k/ http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k/PortingHelpers It's a wiki so feel free to edit information, post scripts to the mailing list to gather information, etc. Right now I'm in brainstorming mode but we need to figure out some ways to make actual progress on the code too. For that we need to figure out how to submit code upstream and how/when to fork if upstreams are dead, etc.
