This brings up a bigger question:

Even though, most ported packages are fully Python 3 compatible, they might 
depend on packages that are not ready to get a final release. Those two are:

* zope.security 4.0.0 (pending PyPy support from Tres)
* ZODB 4.0.0 (I am currently using an sdist of the py3 branch.)

Any package that depends directly or indirectly on those two packages has an 
alpha release right now. Strictly speaking this is not necessary for any 
package not depending on ZODB (ZODB is special because the dep changes from 
ZODB3 to ZODB).

If it is okay with everyone, we could change the releases to their final 
version numbers with the understanding that Python 3 support will not be 
available until all dependencies have their final release. Python 2 should work 
just fine once we get the trunk builds back to green.

Stephan
