	Hi again,
I've been told that there are some scripts, which can convert python2
code into python3 code, which led me to the 2to3 [1], provided by
python itself. The attached is a result of the files being processes
through it, including slightly modified patch proposed earlier (it
looks for python3 now, instead of python2). The resulting patch has
more than 96KB, thus I packed it.

Patrick, I believe you've a better test environment, which would verify
the functionality of those helper scripts heavily, definitely better
than me, thus I'd like to ask you to give it a try. Maybe if it'll
work, and the scripts would provide the same (or close to the same)
results, then you can do a python3-only release with whatever changes
you might have piled since the 1.5.3 release.

	Thanks and bye,
	Milan
