How much effort is required to maintain the same code base compatible between 2.6 and 3.3? Non-python guy here.


Python's "2to3" utility helps a lot with the mechanical parts, like spotting renamed modules or print statements. After that, it's a chore of hunting down small semantic changes involving strings. Since everything in Sublime Text should be using the same flavor of string, at least that part should be straightforwards.
