+Python3
+=======
+
+Source
+------
+
+Python3 portage is made by running the 2to3 script on all modules::
+
+  find . ! -path "*/test/*py" -name "*py" -exec 2to3-3.1 -wn {} \;
+
+
+Dev
+---
+
+If you want to run the tests, simply remove the "! -path ..." option, hence
+also refactoring the test files, including all data files.
+
+
+Debian
+------
+
+For the Debian packaging of python3-logilab-common, you can use the debian.py3k/
+content against the debian/ folder::
+
+  cp debian.py3k/* debian/
