As pointed out by http://astrofrog.github.io/blog/2016/01/12/stop-writing-python-4-incompatible-code/, special-casing Python 3 code instead of Python 2 code when writing Python 2/3 code will lead to breakage when Python 3 comes out. There should probably be a note in the porting HOWTO mentioning that you should always special-case Python 2 code and not Python 3 code. |

And suggesting feature detection is even better than version detection. |

The feature detection approach is especially important for anything covered by the security backports in PEP 466 and 476, but can also apply for things like installing the importlib2 meta_path hooks into Python 2.7. |
