There is a substantial amount of scripts/code used for academic research written in python2.7 only available on a collaborator's github repos. The problem is this should be ported to python3.x someday.
Currently, is the correct standard for users to simply download the python2.7 code, apply python's 2to3, and use this code? (I guess I would e-mail the owner if 2to3 didn't work correctly...) That is, it's up to the user to generate the python3.x code.
Or would it be useful for me to port this code and request the user push it for the entire community to use. In this case, should both versions be available for use? Or should I ask the owner to replace the python2.7 code with the new python python3.x code?
What is the current standard?
