It's from SVN r633; this was an experiment I did back in November 2009. The .py parts are from 2to3 and are python 3 only, but ought to be regeneratable via 2to3. The .c parts are from my 2to3c code and some manual hacking. The aim is that they're compilable against both 2 and 3 from the same sources. (I may be misremembering all this) It may well not fully compile, and I'm definitely playing fast-and-loose with things like encodings. IIRC I was able to get it to compile, and to at least connect to MySQL from python3, but I'm definitely getting things wrong with anything non-ASCII, I'm afraid. (I'm assuming an invocation of 2to3 upon the .py code, and the use of the "distribute" fork of setuptools; I'm using python 3.1.1 FWIW) Hope this is helpful; I'd appreciate a shout-out to Red Hat if it does help.
