I can't find any PEP about detailed 2.6 -> 3000 migration guidelines, specially in the module (C code) extension area. Yes, I know about the 2to3 tool, but I'm interested in updating my 2.x code in order to keep (automatic via "2to3") difference between 2.x and 3.x codebase so small as possible. Also, 2to3 doesn't manage migration for C modules. Since I need to port bsddb3 to py3k, what I need to know?. Is any updated document out there?.

No definitive porting guide has been written, although it has been discussed as being needed before. One should probably be written ASAP if we are going to get any decent testing done by people with the beta (and I am definitely NOT volunteering to write the doc).
