Pep 3105: the end of print?

That's my definition of a common code base.  That is the content of the 
theorum.

That is not what I would call a common code base.  The developer would have 
to run the translater every time the code changed.  And if the Python 3.0 
code were considered the 'master' code, the developer would need a 3to2 
translater.

Either disprove the theorum or give up the notion of having a common code 
base that uses print.
