This library is a very thin wrapper around lib2to3 to utilize it
to make Python 2 code more modern with the intention of eventually
porting it over to Python 3.

It does not guarantee, but it attempts to spit out a Python 2/3
compatible codebase. The code that it generates has a runtime
dependency on six.

Unicode Literal Control:

- By default modernize will wrap literals with the six helpers.
  This is useful if you want to support Python 3.1 and Python 3.2
  without bigger changes.
- Alternatively there is the ``--compat-unicode`` flag which
  does not change unicode literals at all which means that you
  can take advantage of PEP 414.
- The last alternative is the ``--future-unicode`` flag which
  imports the ``unicode_literals`` from the ``__future__`` module.
  This requires Python 2.6 and later and will require that you
  mark bytestrings with ``b''`` and native strings in ``str(b'')``
  or something similar that survives the transformation.
