Set of tools that provide backward compatibility with Python 2.6+.
When creating code that is meant to work both in PYthn 2.6+ and Python 3.1+ one must take into consideration the following topics:
- Usage of the comparison operators
cmp() - Usage of the iterator based operators:
xrange,iteritems,iterkeys,itervalues - Compatibility between the new iterator based operation and the old eager ones for:
range,items,keys,values - Hash related functions must receive byte based strings:
hashlib.update,hashlib.md5, etc - Base64 encoding/decoding requires byte strings:
base64.b64encode,base64.b64decode(only Python 3.2-)
