I'm fairly sure we don't care to support Python 3 at this time.

Are you kidding? 

"Python 3.1 final was released on June 27th, 2009."

That's over a year back.

Here’s another bit of irrelevant information: “Python 2.7 was released on 
July 3rd, 2010.” That’s less than a year back!

Here’s something that’s way more relevant: we’re currently bound to 
Python 2 because of its large installed base. That doesn’t preclude Python 3 
support, but since I don’t have any users who NEED to run Python 3 and 
can’t run Python 2 at the moment, it’s kind of irrelevant. I can promise 
Python 3 support as soon as there’s a need (for me, my users, my team). Until 
then, patches welcome.
