You mean I can just run all my python2 programs with python3 runtime with no changes at all. Because that was how every upgrade before python3 went.

Breaking changes are a routine thing in any maintained language; heck, even a conservative project like GCC breaks code between major releases.
The code that doesn't run on Python 2+3 only runs on Python 3. Have at it.
eikenberry asked: "can just run all my python2 programs with python3 runtime with no changes at all"
You replied: "Nearly all my code co-runs on 2.7 / 3.6 with almost no hacks. So, yes.", implying that, yes, you can run py2 programs without change, because this is true of your code
To which I replied "And your code is all code?"; Meaning, just because this is true of your code, doesn't mean it is true of eikenberry's code, or any/all code.
You then responded with a project that apparently runs fully on py3, but only partially on py2 - what is the point you are making by posting that project?
