I would use only one code-base and make a branch for the 2.7 version. You can then adapt the 2.7 version where really necessary but in general just merge adaption made in the main branch to the 2.7 branch. I am assuming you are using some kind of version control. -- Antoon Pardon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
