Yes, it avoids making your Python 2 code uglier, but it means maintaining two branches in parallel until you drop Python 2 support. IMO, maintaining two branches shouldn't be much more work than maintaining hacks so that a single codebase works with two different programming languages.

Would that mean distributing 2 separate tarballs? How would tools such as easy_install and pip work in respect of that? Is there a naming convention they can rely on?
