;Brief explanation: There are many reasons to port Sugar to Python 3, not the least being its support for internationalization (unicode) is greatly improved over Python 2. There is a good discussion of strategies [http://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html here]. The first task will be to work with the core developer team to decide on a strategy: writing Python 2/3 compatible source or a pure port. Once that decision is made, the remainder of the work will be to do the port itself. Developing a robust test suite is a must.
