Take the best of both worlds: try: # py3k reload except NameError: from imp import reload Now you can grep your code for py3k without changing the language! Never underestimate the value of comment tokens. Universal ones like TODO or private ones like NULLSAFE, all it takes is grep or your editor's Find function to make them all obvious.
