If the dumbo OP had remembered to say that 
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-porting states rather 
vaguely "This list is to contain discussion of porting Python code 
between versions, mainly from Python 2.x to 3.x." it might have helped 
garner more answers.  Still, if we leave the list open for long enough 
we'll all be able to discuss porting python 2.x to python 4.x :)
