Writing idiomatic Python 3 code and supporting both Python 2 & 3
aren't really compatible goals. I suggest pointing to the stdlib
implementation for the idiomatic Python 3 only code, and just
targeting the common 2/3 subset for the PyPI version - a lot of people
have been down this road before you and it really is the easiest way
to do it :)

Register two different names (which also makes for a fairly poor end
user experience)

Cheers,
Nick.
