I had a brief conversation with Michael Foord yesterday and he's writing code that works in 2.4 through 3.2, so for some code bases, it's tricky and ugly, but possible.

If the application does not involve a lot of I/O, 2.4 -> 3.2 support by using a unique code base is possible and not that ugly. At least, that's what happened with psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=75&can=1&q=python%203&colspec=ID%20Summary%20Type%20Opsys%20Status%20Milestone%20Opened%20Owner%20Progress#c9 My personal choice is to encourage the same approach where possible.
