There may be warts in a single codebase (you usually can't have something for nothing), but it's not necessarily *crippled* when running in 2.x. Of course two branches allow you to have a no-compromise approach for the code style, but you might pay for that in time spent doing merges etc. > Note that 2to3 is actually helpful when you choose the dual branches > approach, and it isn't a serial dependency in that case. > (see https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/t3k/) Yes, 2to3 is very useful when doing an initial porting exercise. I've used it just once in each port I've done. It also works well for a single codebase approach, only I just follow its advice rather than letting it do the conversion automatically.
