I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of the 2to3 tool. It is supposed to create a new version of the code that runs on py3, while you can still run your *"old"* code on py2.x There won't be a common code base for all python versions. You will have to decide at what point you want to switch from developing the 2.x code (and using the 2to3 tool to support py3) to developing the py3 code. (You might then develop a 3to2 tool, but I think this discussion is getting way ahead of its time. ;-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
