Hi,
I also browsed a little and could not find any big change (provided that 
replacing "print 'hi'" by "print('hi')" can be automatic....).
It doesn't mean no problem will emerge though, on needs to try. For a IT 
student internship the problem would be that if things go well the job 
could be done after one day or so.

About dropping Python 2.7: I think most systems have Python3 available 
now. Not a problem to freeze the Python 2.7 branch then.

Cheers

Bruno
