I would recommend future. It gives you a Python-3-like experience in Python 2.
Once you fully transition to Python 3, you only need to remove the future
imports and you don't have any dependency on it any more.
For example:
from builtins import bytes, str
gives you Python 3 bytes and strings in Python 2. Now, you can replace
basestring with str and it works the same in Python 2 and 3.
Maybe this works for you.
I am pretty happy with future.
Best,
Mike
