For me, the thing that will make porting 2.x to 3.x code easy is to make python 3.0 as clean and organized as you can with excellent documentation. Half-way and duel-way approaches will probably not help me as much as this.

Most of the difficulty I have in converting programs is in finding the information I need. The actual editing is not a problem.

Yes, the actual editing is not a problem, as long as you only need to
do it once. The problem is when you have a module/program/whatever
that you need to provide a release of for 2.5 and would also like to
provide a release of for 3.0. Then, the editing becomes a problem,
because you have to do it again for every change you make.
