There is Tauthon[1] which backports Python 3 features to 2 and seems to do the "actual work". It has been around a while. It was also posted in this thread below by the current maintainer of the project but for some reason that comment was downvoted to [dead]. By reading a bit around about it, i do get the impression that the Tauthon developers face a bit of hostility from the Python community, so i'm not sure how viable it'll be in the long term. I suppose it depends on how stubborn the Tauthon developers are :-P [1] https://github.com/naftaliharris/tauthon https://github.com/naftaliharris/tauthon
