This is also my approach, and the one that I'm encouraging throughout Microsoft as we start putting out more Python packages for stuff.

For myself, the way I'd put it is:
With the libraries I maintain, I generally write Python 2/3 compatible code,
targeting Python 2.7 and 3.4, with 2.6, 3.3, and 3.2 support as bonuses,
although I will not contort too much to support those older versions. Doing
so does make the language far less fun for me than when I am writing 3.x only
code. All applications I write in pure Python 3, targeting Python 3.4, unless
my dependencies are not all available in Python 3, or I haven't yet had the
cycles/resources to port to Python 3\. Writing and maintaining applications in
Python 2 is far less fun than doing so in Python 3.
Cheers,
