Re: meld python3?

[Andrew Beyer <beyer andrew gmail com>]

I don't think 2to3 is going to get you terribly close to anything that
actually works.

AFAIK, meld code itself is largely going to work ok w/ 2to3, but the
interactions w/ gobject & gtk bindings probably require quite a bit of
updating to work properly in py3. (I haven't actually tried it w/
meld, but do know that another codebase I worked w/ had similar
issues.) I know Kai has mentioned that this is something he's looked
at before, but not sure the current status of it...you may want to
wait for him to chime in before you go too far w/ this.
