> The branch excises the use of the 'lib2to3' module and associated fixers
> in favor of a "compatible subset" which supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2,
> and PyPy 1.8.  At this point all tests pass under all four environments
> using 'python setup.py test' as well as using 'nosetests.'  Code coverage

Woot!

However alluring the 2to3 idea might have been, it seems to me that the
single-source approach (with the six package if needed) is the only sane
way to go.

+1, please do!
