I went ahead and installed 3.1 on my laptop the other day after the beginning
of this thread, if that's any consolation ;)

Anyways, the vast majority of Cheetah was written by Tavis for an older version
of Cheetah (just officially killed "support" for 2.3), I've just been keeping
the place clean since. From my initial look, it's not going to be difficult to
run on Python 3.xx, just tedious.

Ideally I'd like to keep the same tree for Python 2.4-3.1 if possible. If
you've got cycles to spare, fork git://github.com/rtyler/cheetah.git
(http://github.com/rtyler/cheetah) and start poking about with 2to3.


I'd like to support Python 3, if for nothing other than bragging rights, but I
just don't have a lot of extra bandwidth right now

Cheers,
