Hi!
Meld 3.17 is a pure python3 application, that expected to be just used with
python3 without any conversions like 2to3. It doesn't use compatibility
packages like "six" and cannot be used with python2.
Meld 3.16.x from the other hand is a pure python2 application. I don't think
that it is designed to be converted with 2to3, so if it had somehow launched
with python3 after such conversion, it may be extremely buggy even in common
use cases. Meld 3.17 is much better choice for running under python3.
