In the hope that's its helpful, attached is a messy, mostly-compiling
port of the code.

It's from SVN r633; this was an experiment I did back in November 2009.

The .py parts are from 2to3 and are python 3 only, but ought to be
regeneratable via 2to3.

The .c parts are from my 2to3c code and some manual hacking.  The aim is
that they're compilable against both 2 and 3 from the same sources.

(I may be misremembering all this)

It may well not fully compile, and I'm definitely playing fast-and-loose
with things like encodings.  IIRC I was able to get it to compile, and
to at least connect to MySQL from python3, but I'm definitely getting
things wrong with anything non-ASCII, I'm afraid.

(I'm assuming an invocation of 2to3 upon the .py code, and the use of
the "distribute" fork of setuptools; I'm using python 3.1.1 FWIW)

Hope this is helpful; I'd appreciate a shout-out to Red Hat if it does
help.
