Except that is precisely what the Python developers have asked everyone not to do. So far the story is that the upgrade to Python 3 can be done largely automatic and a codebase for 2.x and 3.x can be maintained automatically and kept in sync. Once you introduce semantic instead of syntactic differences outside Python 3 itself into the whole mix, it gets virtually impossible to maintain a codebase that works on both 2.x and 3.x. So while the Python 3 uptake is still slow, I think we shouldn't add more roadblocks onto that path.
