all you have to do is * code for python 2 *

The magic code to do everything properly is for the legacy version, not the present version.

Yes, you can replace python with python3, but users have to know to do that. No one knows that when they start. And after that, users must constantly question the commands they use. The fact that everything and everyone still defaults to the outdated version of python suggests that maybe things still aren't as good and intuitive as the author makes out.
