I wonder where this recommendation comes from... unless you have strong
dependencies that have not been, and can't easily be ported to Python 3.
Do you have a link?

As reminded at:

  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python2-pythondialog

which you should definitely read, Python 3.0 was released on December 3,
2008. Python 2 is now more or less obsolete... or in end-of-line state,
if you prefer. Just a few links I saw recently about the subject:

  http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2014/05/msg00037.html
  http://techs.enovance.com/6521/openstack_python3

If you still decide to work with Python 2, you should probably import
many things from the future, as suggested in:

Good luck...
