Also, about porting from Python 2 to Python 3, what do you think will be the best way to do this ? Should I make a separate folder say : "webtools_py3" and keep the Python 3 scripts here ? I was thinking I can start porting the scripts from python 2 along with working on the other tasks in hand. What is your take on this ?
