Comment (by teor):
I've done some research, here's what I've discovered:
* python 2's code freeze starts on 1 January 2020, the final release will
be around April at pycon 2020
* if we want to continue testing using python 2 during the transition, we
should use python-modernize or python-future, not 2to3
* python 3.6 is the earliest supported python 3; python 3.2, 3.3, and 3.5
added features that make porting easier
* we should try to use `if PY2` for any code that won't run in both
versions, in case there is a python 4 some day
