IMO, maintaining two branches shouldn't be much more work than maintaining hacks so that a single codebase works with two different programming languages. Would that mean distributing 2 separate tarballs? How would tools such as easyinstall and pip work in respect of that? Is there a naming convention they can rely on?

Sadly, PyPI and the packaging tools don’t play nice with non-single-codebase projects, so you have to use a different name for your 3.x-compatible release, like “unittestpy3k”. Some bdists include the Python version in the file name, but sdists don’t.
