I have not followed this discussion much so far, but I was wondering
whether it would make sense to write our own fixer for 2to3 to handle
some of those issues ? Encoding issues cannot be fixed in 2to3, but
things like changing dtype name should be doable, no ?
I have not looked at the 2to3 code, so I don't know how much work this would be.
cheers,
David
