No problem there. It helps you transition from python2 to python3. However, python3 is here and you should be able to write genuine python3 code with the appropriate bytes and string facilities. It would be very confusing to try to mix the two regimes. I must say, though, that Python3 destroyed "print" forever for me. To avoid nausea, I write sys.stdout.write() in all Python3 code.
