Python 2 and Python 3 are totally different in this regard. I don't have
a obvious proposal to make to avoid having PyD for Python 2 and a
different PyD for Python 3, but the six package might have some hints as
it is intended to support creating Python codebases guaranteed to run
under Python 2 and Python 3.

It is a pity the world doesn't just spontaneously switch to Python 3 so
that Python 2 is just a "we used to use that" technology."
