Go Python, Go: Stream Processing for Python

The heartbreaking thing is that if you're willing to only target 2.7 on the Python 2 front, it's relatively trivial to write in Python 3 and have it be immediately compatible in Python 2 using from __future__ imports.

For trivial programs sure... not when dealing with encoders, decoders, binary formats, etc, etc.

It all depends on how they wrote their Python 2.7 code. You can write it oblivious to Python 3 and screw things up, or you can write it in a way that you know you'll eventually support Python 3. In the latter case, you might as well just support both right away though.
