No, we don't have the manpower to have two code bases - the C code
handles both versions, and the python 2 code is converted to python 3
"on the fly".

We are lucky not to have too much IO / string handling, which are the
hard things to handle with 2to3. The hard part was NumPy, because it
used the python C api so much. Porting scipy to something somewhat
usable was an half-day job,

cheers,
