Good idea! A 3to2 project is going to make backporting io.py and other
new stuff less painful and much faster. For the io.py backport I spent
most time on removing annotations and replacing "" with u"".

What needs to be done?

* remove funtion annotation

* Add object to all empty class definition

* replace class Egg(metaclass=Spam) with class
Egg(object):\n__metaclass__ = Spam

* Add __future__ imports for print_function and unicode literals

Anything else?
