# This code is written to run on both Python 2.7 and Python 3.
# The Python developers did a *terrible* job when they transitioned
# to Python version 3, as I have documented elsewhere. What's more,
# many mechanisms that do exist do not come natively with Python 2, or
# required version 2.6 or later even though older versions were still in use.
# As a result, many Python programs (including this one) do not use Python 3.
# The solution used here is to gradually transition the Python code but
# stay at Python 2. A preference is
# given to code constructs that would ALSO work in version 3.X, but
# only if they would *already* work in Python 2, and only if they don't
# make the code too complicated.
# The plan is to eventually switch this code so that it runs unchanged
# on both 2.X and 3.X. At this point, Python 2.7 has been around for
# many years, so we don't worry about supporting versions of Python older
# than Python 2.7.
# to Python version 3, as I have documented elsewhere.
# Thankfully, more recent versions of Python 3, and the most recent version of
# Python 2, make it possible (though ugly) to write code that runs on both.
# That *finally* makes it possible to semi-gracefully transition.

# We didn't use boolean types originally because this program

# That's irrelevant today, but since "it works" there hasn't been a big
# rush to change it.
