Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

sys.maxint was *not* changed to sys.maxsize - it was simply removed.
pyparsing apparently hasn't been ported to Python 3; please bring this
up with the pyparsing authors (but then, Python 3 hasn't been released,
so they might decide not to take any action for several years, until,
say, Python 3.2).

sys.maxint used to indicate the maximum value that an int could have. In
Python 3, the int type has no maximum value anymore.

The only place where this might need some notice is the whatsnew text.
