Is it worth back porting PEP 3147 to Python < 3.2?

Hi Barry,
Nice to see someone of the core python team taking part in
distribution development.

Unfortunately, Logilab does not have a much man-power to offer to set
this up at the moment, but would something like
http://apycot.hg-scm.org/ fit your description of a test framework ?
We also have it running at logilab.org and cubicweb.org of course:
http://www.logilab.org/view?rql=testconfig&vid=summary
http://www.cubicweb.org/view?rql=testconfig&vid=summary
As you can see with these second and third links, tests include
lintian and piuparts checks.
Is it something like this that you had in mind?
