Well, that's the py3 branch. As Tres mentioned, zodbpickle is ready for Py3
with noload() support. I totally agree that we do not need to solve any of the
transition work now.
So for ZODB Py3 support we need to:
1. Merge the py3 branch into trunk.
2. Simplify zodbpickle to just contain the cPickle code that is Py3
compatible.
I do not care whether this happens for ZODB 4.0 or 4.1 as long as I get some
commitment that 4.1 with Py3 support is happening quickly (i.e. not in the
order of many months).

Stephan
