One of the main lessons from py2k->py3k conversions should be truly that unit tests are not something to ignore, but just the opposite: there is no bug, if it doesn't trigger some unit test. Not only it helps py2k->py3k transition, but also maintaining Python code in the long term (when Python standards evolves).
