It would be a complete rewrite; I prefer doing a gradual transmogrification of the current codebase into Py3k rather than starting from scratch (read Joel Spolsky on why).

BTW, Should this be added to PEP 3099?

(Although I do think that a gradual transition is certainly possible, I am not going to push for it.)
