I've ported a fair bit of code, both pure-Python and C extensions, both libraries and applications. For successful library ports to Python 3 that need to remain Python 2 compatible, I would almost always recommend a single source, common dialect, no-2to3 approach. There may be exceptions, but this strategy has proven effective over and over. I generally find I don't need `six` but it does provide some nice conveniences that can be helpful. With something like tox running your test suite, it doesn't even have to be painful to maintain.
