You also need to dump/restore for mysql, because of how Roundup with 
Python 2 stores UTF-8 mislabelled as another character set with the mysql 
back-end (and to delete the dbm otks and sessions databases for sqlite).  
In all cases you'll probably need to merge Python 3 changes into the 
templates and Python files in your tracker.

And Christof Meerwald, who got the Python 3 support from more or less 
working for some basic uses of a demo tracker (the state after my initial 
patches) to actually passing all the tests.
