Now that we are on a single code base, I have a few questions on how
best to write/test code going forward.  In particular, do we have a
convention on how to handle name changes?

One approach might be to have Sympy's code base reflect one of Python
2/3s names/syntax, and adjust as best we can for the other version via
core/compatability.  I am assuming that is *not* how we are going,
since we currently have print as a function (hard to avoid that) and
lots of usage of (version 2) xrange.

My particular issue is with zip (actually izip_longest).  One of my
test functions depends for correctness on getting the iterator version
of the zip function.  Since what I really need is izip_longest, I have
tentatively defined, in compatability, zip_longest, as being the
either izip_longest or zip_longest as needed.  

This works fine, but it would be nice to have some sort of consensus
guideline on how to handle these going forward.  For example, do we
have a policy against adding bloat to core/compatibility unless
absolutely necessary?
                                            
Thanks.
