I think that if it becomes a requirement it shouldn't be too hard to make the refactoring tool work with older versions though, up to 2.2. but we should determine need first.

As of r54311, 2to3 now works with Python 2.4. I tried making it work with Python 2.3, but it's going to require changes wrt. how 2to3 interacts with the logging module, and I don't know enough about logging to know what needs to change.

I must've missed that. What happened?

I thought the decision had been made (or at least, the consensus reached) that sys.exc_info() would stick around in Python 3.
