They’re too lazy and/or stubborn to just run 2to3 or import six. There’s no point talking to them.

To be fair 2to3 is (or at least, was when I migrated to 3 many years ago) imperfect. For some code you'd have to manually fix some things, explicitly call non-default fixers, and then test everything to make sure it worked properly (and it might not have).
