But it could theoretically happen if Neal wants it so badly that he 
raises an issue on the bug tracker against Python 2.7, finds all the 
relevant source code in Python 3, back ports it, modifies all the 
relevant docs and unit tests, then finds some warm hearted person to 
commit the changes.  Five minute job.  Simples :)
