+	  Debian currently supports two Python stacks, one for Python 2
+	  and one for Python 3.  The long term goal for Debian is to
+	  reduce this to one stack, dropping the Python 2 stack at some
+	  time.  
+	  <url id="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/"
+	  name="PEP 404"> states that no more major Python 2 releases
+	  are planned, although the last released major version 2.7
+	  will see some extended support, documented in 
+	  <url id="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/"
+	  name="PEP 466">.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+	  Packages in Debian should use Python 3 if Python 3 is
+	  supported.  New packages should use Python 3 from the initial
+	  upload, new upstream versions for existing packages should
+	  use Python 3 if the new upstream version supports it.

+	<p><enumlist>
+	  <item>
+	    <p>
+	      Programs should use Python 3, and should not be packaged
+	      for Python 2 as well.  Python 3 should be used for the
+	      packaging if the packaging scripts use Python.
+	    </p>
+	  </item>
+	  <item>
+	    <p>
+	      Python libraries should be always packaged for Python 3
+	      if supported.  Python 2 libraries should be packaged, if
+	      applications found in the reverse dependencies are not
+	      yet supported by Python 3.
+	    </p>

+	  <item>

+	  Python 3 (3.1) was released in June 2009, and is available in
