Again with the 'Tremendous amount of effort' meme. I've done many ports and they were all trivial:

    - run 2to3
    - spend 2h max fixing any failing tests
    - cook of any remaining issues in a few days of beta testing like you'd do for any new release

Now now doubt Python 2.7 is a excellent and solid release and will remain so for as long anyone keeps the bitrot in check, but to keep using it because porting is 'hard' is patent bs.
