As an example, the one library I've already ported used a metaclass.  I don't see any way to specify that the metaclass should be used in a portable way. In Python 2.6 it's:

class Foo:  metaclass = Meta and in Python 3 it's: class Foo(metaclass=Meta): 2to3 made that pain go away. [sidebar] 1) the metaclass fixer was a PITA to implement.

Does this make it any less useful, though? :)
