Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3 — Python 3.6.0 documentation

Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3 — Python 3.6.0 documentation: "A key point about supporting Python 2 & 3 simultaneously is that you can start today! Even if your dependencies are not supporting Python 3 yet that does not mean you can’t modernize your code now to support Python 3. Most changes required to support Python 3 lead to cleaner code using newer practices even in Python 2 code.

Another key point is that modernizing your Python 2 code to also support Python 3 is largely automated for you. While you might have to make some API decisions thanks to Python 3 clarifying text data versus binary data, the lower-level work is now mostly done for you and thus can at least benefit from the automated changes immediately.

Keep those key points in mind while you read on about the details of porting your code to support Python 2 & 3 simultaneously."
