Drop 2to3 build step; make all code compatible with all Pythons Make all library code compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Helps move to modern Python idioms. Can now write for Python 3 (with workarounds for Python 2) instead of the other way around. In the future, when it is eventually time to drop Python 2, the library will be in a better position to remove workarounds Added a very small comparability module compat.py where required. It includes definitions for: - text_type -- A type. str on Python 3. unicode on Python 2. - string_types -- A tuple. Contains only str on Python 3. Contains str & unicode on Python 2. 2017-12-11 05:35:41 +03:00			`import sys`
