I wonder if it might not be simpler (at least in some cases) to just disable the warnings for certain modules? I imagine in many cases fixing up the 2.6 code to suppress -3 warnings would be mere busywork -- e.g. for code that gets deleted in 3.0 altogether. (Hm, in fact for such code there's no need to suppress the -3 warnings, as they serve as a warning to any user of the module that they are using something that won't survive into 3.0.)

Very true. It might be easiest to just throw (maybe even just temporarily)

if sys.py3kwarning: warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning, module=name)

at the top of the offending module.
