Having STFW and come up empty, I'm wondering if anyone knows if there
is an analogue to the Ruby Version Manager http://
rvm.beginrescueend.com/ in the Python world? rvm is essentially a
tool that can install several Ruby implementations side by side and
easily hot swap them in your shell session.
For the most part keeping new code compatible with both Python 2.6 and
3.1 isn't a challenge, the most noticeable issue is with string data.
The obvious downside is if the code has to run on an interp that
doesn't understand the modern 'except ClassName as varname:' thing.
