It would be quite nice if you could mark all the Python 3 idioms that
work in Python 2.X as well. This would allow readers that are still using
Python 2.X and are used to the 'old way' to adapt their coding style
accordingly. You could just add a little (2.X) after the idiom for
example.

And thanks for the nice cheat sheet! :-D
