'''Kunal Arora''': This project would port sugar to Python 3 which is the future of Python. It has better unicode support which would make it easier for developers to work with strings which would now be in unicode as unicode is easier to translate into different languages. Hence ,porting will help the sugar community in internationalization and will also make sugar up to date with modern technologies that rely on Python3.

There are several reasons why this project is important to Sugar Labs: (1) we need to keep pace with the projects we depend upon upstream -- Python 3 is being to become de rigour -- and (2) Python 3 has much better support for i18n and unicode -- critical to the global nature of our project. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 16:31, 19 March 2014 (EDT)
