Ok, now do the reverse. ;)
The work involved to upgrade from Python 2 to Python 3 for most things will be more like what you did (fixing a few things here and there), certainly not anywhere near as hard as what I challenged with above.
- jacquesm 7y ago> Ok, now do the reverse. ;) Excellent point, conceded. But backwards compatibility is the more useful direction to me, I can see however that if your job is to take a modern day application and compile it for a platform for which there is no modern day compiler that you're going to be in a special kind of hell for a long long time if the project has any size at all.
