It would be very hard to write 2.6 code that is completely compatible
with 3.0, because 3.0 has changed many fundamental language constructs,
including even the "print" statement, which in 3.0 is a function (syntax
change).

I am not sure how far the from __future__ import feature will work for
such changes as that.
