I agree here. @Thomas: We talked about sixer at DebConf (thanks for
the hint in any case). But I consider the additional dependency it
introduces something I'd like to avoid if possible. So I first try my
luck with 2to3 (and I admit I observed some surprises which did not made
me that lucky at all) before I'd use sixer as fallback.
Kind regards
Andreas.
