Markus - 

Annoyingly, sourceforge just auto-discarded your email and I can't figure out how to undo that, so it is below for anyone else who wants to read it.
Yeah, Python 2 is getting toward it's EOL.

Thankfully, the port seemed to be mostly painless. I was surprised I managed to do as much as I did in six or so hours.
Pyblosxom is a really solid engine. 

Every time I read over the code, I'm amazed at what a good job you all did in making it what it is.

Have a great day,
Akai

That is great news. Thank you for working on the Python 3 port. I was a
bit worried about Pyblosxom in Debian because we will try to remove
Python 2 within the next two years but with Python 3 support its future
should be secured.
