I wrote a bit about it back when I first did the 3.x work: 
http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200907/coveragepy_on_python_3x.html This 
was 3.5 years ago, and is out of date: it describes a 2to3 workflow that 
I don't even remember.  Today, the same code runs on Python 2.3 through 
3.3, which isn't easy, but you can get used to it.  Today, I would use 
the "six" module to smooth over the differences, but I got started 
before it did, so I have a similar module of my own, called "backward" 
(compatible).
