   "Python 2 is fine now – but in the coming months and years new libraries,
   features, and performance improvements are only going to be introduced
   in Python 3, and I didn’t want to get left behind or forced to take on
   an expensive and time consuming port in the future."
Does this argument hold some water, or is Python 2-to-3 conversion often pretty trivial in practice?

Word on the street is that the 2to3 tool is magical. Just run the Py2.6 interpreter with the "-3" flag for warnings, fix the warnings, and run the 2to3 tool to get your port.
