I still think that the best approach for projects to use 2to3 is to run 2to3 at install time from a single-source release. For that, projects will have to adjust to whatever bugs certain 2to3 releases have, rather than requiring users to download a newer version of 2to3 that fixes them. For this use case, a tightly-integrated lib2to3 (with that name and sole purpose) is the best thing. Alright. That is reasonable. The other thing is that we will loose some vcs history and some history granularity by switching development to the trunk version, since just the svnmerged revisions will be converted.

So the consensus is that 2to3 should be pulled out of the main Python tree? Should the 2to3 hg repository be deleted, then?

Thanks, Collin
