The one that bites me most often is that in 2.6, keyword arguments must be
strs; unicodes are not accepted:
-----snip snip-----
from __future__ import unicode_literals
def func(foo, bar):
print foo, bar
kw = {'foo': 7, 'bar': 9}
func(**kw)
-----snip snip-----
That will raise a TypeError in 2.6 but works in 2.7. Is it appropriate and
feasible to back port that to Python 2.6? I remember talking about this a
while back but I don't remember what we decided and I can't find a bug on the
issue.
