+Python 3
+========
+
+The canonical version of Beautiful Soup is the Python 2 version. You
+can generate the Python 3 version by running to3.sh, or by doing what
+to3.sh does: run 2to3 on BeautifulSoup.py and BeautifulSoupTests.py,
+then applying the appropriate .3.diff file to each generated script.
+
+The testall.sh script tests both the Python 2 version and a freshly
+generated Python 3 version.
