I'm sure this tool wouldn't be perfect, but if it did most of the work, would that change opinions?

To me, the main objection seems to revolve around the fact that people would like to be able to "future-proof" Python 2.x code so that it will also run on Py3k. We're steadily accumulating collections of "old ways" and "new ways", and the Py3k transition should mainly be about deleting the "old ways".

That is, if the way something is going to be done is to change in Py3k, the new alternative should already be in place towards the end of the 2.x series, so that Py3k is only a potential problem if people are still using the "old ways". Maybe "from future import py3k" would do the trick ;)

Cheers, Nick.
