i'm used to py2.7, but i don't have a problem with requiring py3.3+.  i think we 
should pick one for all files and stick with it though ... having a mix across 
modules would be awful for cognitive load.  should be easy to enforce though:

#!/usr/bin/python3
...
import sys
...
if sys.hexversion < 0x3030000:
    raise RuntimeError('python-3.3+ required')
