I don't think that it is possible to write an interpreter that is fully compatible for all it accepts. Would you think that the program

print(repr(2**80).endswith("L")) is in the subset that should be supported by both Python 2 and Python 3? Notice that it prints "True" in Python 2 and "False" in Python 3.

This is implementation details. On 128-bit platform special build of Python 2 can print False.

Of course there are many other differences between Python 2 and Python 3 besides unicode model and unified integers.
