Description: Let's write Python 3 right now!
When the best Python 2/Python 3 compatibility modules -- especially the famous `*six* library invented by Benjamin Peterson https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six`_ -- were created, they were written from the point of view of a Python 2 programmer starting to grok Python 3.
When thou writeth Python, thou shalt write Python 3 and, just for a while, ensure that the thing worketh on Python 2.7 and, possibly, even 2.6.
Just before Python 2 is finally phased out, thine codebase shall look more like 3 than like 2.
nine facilitates this new point of view. You can write code that is as 3ish as possible while still supporting 2.6. Very comfortable for writing new projects.
