I think we should just have Python 3 in testing/ for now. So I am thinking A=
lpine 3.3 maybe try to do edge testing for 3.2 and see how many modules port=
. If we had an Nic package manager style we wouldn't have dependency conflic=
ts for python2 vs python3 :P . Is there any semi-standard or Distro we shoul=
d emulate on how to have python2 and python3 on the system (e.g. Arch)?
