With all of the talk about py 2 vs. py3 these days, this is the blog 
post that I think deserves the most real attention.  I haven't had to do 
the kind of coding that Armin is talking about, but I've heard more than 
one person talk about the difficulty of it in Python 3.

If anyone wants Python 3 uptake improved, the best thing would be to 
either explain to Armin how he missed the easy way to do what he wants 
(seems unlikely), or advocate to the core devs why they should change 
things to improve this situation.
