Jude,

In addition to what Charles wrote, just to give some  pointers (not to
be discussed on this list), there are, for instance, Python modules
named "six" (2 × 3) and "future", so as to help Python programmers deal
with such idiosyncrasies.

I know "future" from first-hand experience with fetchmailconf, the
graphical UI for fetchmail, and that was a rather smooth porting
experience, but it did not come for free for sure, so let's also steer
clear of that discussion (and mailman 2.x vs. 3.x is also a similar
issue, but not usually combined with getmail).
