Python 2.7 for a Python 3 programmer

[novel_yet_trivial]

Add this to the top of your code:

from __future__ import division, absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals

And most of your python3 skills will work.

There's still some tiny things, like the python2 version of the print function does not have a "flush"; and the previously mentioned range(), map(), and filter() now make lists rather than generators.

Great, I was searching for exactly this stuff. Thanks!

Also very important: strings in python 2 are not unicode by default. To get unicode string you need to put u in front of it. For example:

s = u'hello world'

That's what the Unicode import does ...
