Python 3000 Goals for the Google Sprint

Here are some possible tasks for the Py3k portion of the GoogleSprint.

To claim a task, please add your name to it.

• Fix various unit tests that are currently failing in the p3yk (sic) branch; in particular I need help fixing minidom, and elementtree.
• Unify int/long (see recent email in python-3000 list; Martin von Löwis???)
• Get rid of all references to file() in favor of open().
• Work on the new I/O library (I have much interest in this but need help -- Guido)
• When the I/O library is ready, start unifying str/unicode.
• Rewrite import in Python (Brett Cannon?)
• Rip out the last remains of coerce (Neal has a patch that does most of this, but some more tests fail. Maybe I should just check it in anyways?)
• Rip out classic classes (already done; Guido)

• Make it so that hash can be set to None to declare an unhashable type, and to automatically do this the first time eq or cmp are overridden but hash is not (Guido; could use help)

• Implement PEP 3102 (keyword-only arguments) (Jiwon Seo?)

• Work on tool to help convert (flag keywords like with/as, removed functions/methods: apply/{}.iter*/{}.has_key/etc)

• See PEP 3100 for more ideas
