what's the status of backporting PEP 3102 ?

It looks like it won't happen.

It was supposed to go into 2.6 and it seems it won't be in 2.7 either.

Correct - and therefore, it won't be backported at all.

There is an updated patch in the tracker [1] that applies cleanly on the latest trunk and passes all relevant tests, so unless there has been a decision against backporting it, would it be possible to push it for 2.7 ?

No - 2.7 has already seen its first beta release, so no new features are acceptable (except by release manager decision or BDFL pronouncement).

Regards, Martin
