Or Wheezy +2. I think the transition to Python 3 will be a long one.
I think this is a good plan. We do need to make sure that we don't assume too
broadly that 2.7 will be the last Python release and as a result lose the
capability to support multiple Python versions. I know upstream has said that
2.8 will never happen, but never is a long time.
