What is the status of that work, and where can it be found?


Can Py2.4 -> Py2.6 compatibility be retained while working on Py3 support?

Yes.  Other projects are doing it now just fine, there are many strategies.

for example, and a PY3 flag could be passed to the compiler to switch the
macros in a header from old names to new names easily enough.
