ok... so this is the py3k branch here...
    svn checkout http://python-nose.googlecode.com/svn/branches/py3k nose3

It does look old, as nose has since moved to mecurial from svn.
Apparently it works though... but I haven't tried it.

Here is the mailing list post from april which says it's working:
    http://groups.google.com/group/nose-users/browse_thread/thread/3463fc48bad31ee8#


btw, for python code you can run the test suite with python -3 to get
it to print warnings about python3 incompatible things used.  I think
we could use this to at least start getting python3 incompatible stuff
running on python2.6.

In fact, that's where I'll start with.


cheers,
