This seems like too strong a statement: "Python 2.6 and Python 2.7 support syntax features from Python 3 which for the most part make a unified code base possible. Many thought that the unicode_literals future import might make a common source possible, but it turns out that it's doing more harm than good."
While it may be true for *some* problem domains, such as WSGI apps, it is not true in general, IMO. I use this future import all the time in both libraries and applications and it's almost always helpful.
