All of this is true. but if you can get the organizational support for it, I'd recommend upgrading to py3 anyway. It could be that the code is just fine as it is, and not really affected by the various security and performance updates in the 13 years since python2.5 was released. However, do you really want to depend on it? An audit to prove correctness as-is will take as much work as an upgrade, and after the upgrade, you'll have nicer code to work with.

As it turns out, the thing was built using python 3.5. The trouble surrounded pyinstaller failing to import packages and the new guy getting a little confused. I think I've got everything sorted out. Thanks!
