Take the best of both worlds:

try: # py3k
    reload
except NameError:
    from imp import reload

Now you can grep your code for py3k without changing the language!

Never underestimate the value of comment tokens. Universal ones like
TODO or private ones like NULLSAFE, all it takes is grep or your
editor's Find function to make them all obvious.
