Python 3 compatibility
We will move to Python 3 in the future. More and more openstack projects are Python 3 compatible, especially the new stackforge projects. This main idea of this blueprint is using library six [1] to make the Keystone codes run both in Python 2 and Python 3.

Whiteboard
I'd love to see this completed in icehouse, but how realistic is that goal? Should this be 'ongoing' instead? Should the abandoned reviews above be restored? I also set a conservative Implementation status; please revise if you think there's a more accurate choice. -Dolph
We need Python 3 Jekins job support from CI infrastructure team , otherwise we are just fixing "KNOWN" Python 3 compatible issues, potential blockers still be there. I will try my best to make Keystone moved to Python 3 smoothly, but can't guarantee that if we can't test in Python 3. the abandoned reviews was abandoned on purpose(just removed them from the whiteboard), we decide to use six not oslo py3kcompat module. -gcb
Agree, I'd like to have a py33 gate job running and passing to consider this blueprint as Implemented. If it doesn't look like that's going to happen by the end of icehouse, we can retarget this to "ongoing" -Dolph
