- errors that are typical of "Python 2 script running with Python 3"-specific are probably limited (e.g., use of unicode, use of xrange, etc...)

The most common, in interactive scripts at least, is likely to be:

print "Hello, world!" SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How helpful it's possible to make that one, I don't know. Is it safe to presume that it's more likely a syntax error will come from an interpreter version mismatch than a code bug?
