Neutrinos and contributors to stadium projects, As part of the "Run under Python 3 by default" community goal [1] for OpenStack in the Stein cycle, a group of goal champions has assembled and have been programmatically generating changes to help projects with the process of migrating to a python 3 compatible state [2][3]. Since we are now early in the Stein release cycle, it is a good time to land these patches and make sure we are in a good state relative to the community goal early, when we have the most time to handle any issues that may arise. As our fearless leader mlavalle said, "If not now, when?" So please expect to see changes landing in your projects under the topic "python3-first". If these cause issues for you please feel free to reach out to either me or the python 3 goal champions. Progress is also being tracked in a wiki page [4]. Thanks!
