I am convinced that in practice you well end up with code that is un-pretty in both python 2.x and 3.x, and harder to debug. Python 3 also introduces changes that warrant API changes, so not making them could lead to awkward APIs. Personally I will take the liberty to change the API of any of my packages if and when I port them to Python 3.
