Note that most of the work was done by Martin von Löwis, quite a while back 
in the early days of Python 3.x.

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingDjangoTo3k

He also did a huge amount of lobbying to get the changes accepted before 
the time that the project originally envisioned. The original plans of the 
Django project were to only *start* the porting after dropping support for 
Python 2.5 somewhere in the future. Martin made it rather clear with his 
patch (and keeps reiterating it wherever he can) that you can support both 
in one code base, even in a project as large as Django.
