Those questions seem unfair to me. Nagle posted an experience report
about a real-world project to migrate a Python 2 codebase to Python 3.
He reported hitting more snags than some of us might expect purely from
the Python 3 propaganda ("oh, just run the 2to3 utility and it does
everything for you"). The report presented info worth considering for
anyone thinking of doing a 2-to-3 migration of their own, or maybe even
choosing between 2 and 3 for a new project. I find reports like that to
be valuable whether or not they suggest fixes for the snags.
Meanwhile here's a very well informed post about headaches with Python
3's treatment of Unicode. I had always thought Python 3's main benefit
was to fix the headaches of Python 2's somewhat accidental treatment of
Unicode. But it looks like Python 3 introduces its own Unicode headaches.
