That depends on your definitions of "easy" and "funny stuff." I'm pretty
sure you'll be able to run the same source code on Python 2.6 and Python
3.0 without either one breaking, as long as the code is written
sufficiently carefully. You may have to give up some Python 3.0 features
and/or write compatibility shims depending on what features you'll need.
Whether that's acceptable depends on the features you need and how much
"yak shaving" you find acceptable.

For instance, if you never use print statements in your code, you won't
notice that print is becoming a function. If you do, you'll have to make
appropriate accommodations.

HTH,
