I'd welcome help porting s3cmd to python3. Whether that's part of a FAD or just an independent effort, I'll let the council decide.
https://github.com/mdomsch/s3cmd/tree/feature/python3 has my stab at it started a couple weeks ago. Much more to go though...
Thanks,
Matt

I know that Python 3 is important to Red Hat. (Doing the math here,
Python 2.x is scheduled to be end-of-life forever in 2020. Red Hat
Enterprise Linux lifetimes for the past releases go over a decade with
extended support options. RHEL 7 was released just last year, and I
think it's no secret to say that Red Hat is likely to release something
else _before_ 2020, and releasing that with Python 3 and not Python 2
would be nice. (In fact, this was even in Denise Dumas's slides at
Flock: http://www.slideshare.net/mattdm-fedora/flock-2015-what-does-red-hat-want/11)
So, if there is wide community interest in the same thing, and budget
and conflicting priorities willing, I'm in support of spending Fedora
community money for external-to-RH community members to collaborate on
this.

Cool, thanks for the input.
