How are you planning on handling the migration to Python 3?

Question

I\'m sure this is a subject that\'s on most python developers\' minds considering that Python 3 is coming out soon. Some questions to get us going in the right direction:

Answer 1

The Django project uses the library six to maintain a codebase that works simultaneously on Python 2 and Python 3 (blog post).

six does this by providing a compatibility layer that intelligently redirects imports and functions to their respective locations (as well as unifying other incompatible changes).

Obvious advantages:

• No need for separate branches for Python 2 and Python 3
• No conversion tools, such as 2to3.
