Fair enough. Is anyone collecting a list of these --py3k warnings? There seem to be a lot recent changes that 2.6's py3k-compat mode will be handling, but I haven't seen anything about someone tracking them/working on a PEP on the issue. Or did I just volunteer myself for that? : )

PEP 361 lists some, although I'm sure it could use some love and care. I would especially appreciate clarity on what the warning flags are, what warnings are active under each flag, etc.

Anthony Baxter has patches for two of the warnings: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1631035&group_id=5470&atid=305470

I have a patch for several more: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1683908&group_id=5470
