So is there any value or interest in setting up a svn notification hook for py3k commits that would go to the pybots buildbot master?

A similar question is whether there should be buildbots for Python 3 itself (i.e. running the test suite). Even for that, it was considered too early.

I would expect that packages break in massive ways because of the by-design incompatibilities. It would be good to get an estimate of what the impact is, but having a build once a month might be more than enough. To fully study the problems, one has to install Python 3 locally, anyway, and then run the package in question on top of that.
