Peter Donis and wrote "Practical Python porting for systems programmers": http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/practical-python-porting/ We developed and applied these techniques on src (a lightweight version-control system for single-contributor projects), reposurgeon (a tool for surgery on version-control repositories, 14KLOC), doclifter (man-page to XML-DocBook markup lifter, 8KLOC), the Python components of GPSD (9KLOC) and the Python components of NTPSec (secure network time service, 16KLOC). All this code runs under either 2 nor 3 without requiring six or any other shim library. Applying the techniques is not particularly difficult. There were no horror stories at any point. I expect to keep writing Python in this polyglot idiom until 2 is obsolete enough to fall off the radar. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
