The problem is when you want to print more than one thing i.e.
print(a, b)
vs
print a, b
While the former isn't an error in Python 2.x it prints the tuple (a,
b) with brackets which will break any doctest. The latter form is a
syntax error in 3.x that would be dealt with by the 2to3 fixer except
you're trying to use a single codebase so that won't work for you.
