When you're ready to make the 3.x jump (which I hope is relatively soon; The
porting of Bazaar's large codebase would set a good example for the community),
you might want to consider a new tool being developed, 3to2. You can maintain
your codebase in 3.x and use 3to2 to backport the code to 2.x compatibility.
