    Easy, clean, reliable Python 2/3 compatibility

  • Since you think you may be updating this code, I would strongly suggest you check out the six or future packages which help to write code that runs under both python 2 and 3. IME future does a better job of making python2 code look like python3, making the eventual cutover easier, while six makes compromises on both ends and code doesn’t looks strictly like 2 or 3. They both have really good guides for transitioning code as well, even if you don’t import them. Future’s guide was constantly open when I did this work, more so than even the core documentation.
