One of the reasons (or the main reason?) we have Python 3 is to move to Unicode by default. You can actually discover a lot of str encoding bugs by making your code Python 3 compatible. Well at least if the code is of decent size and doesn't manage to somehow avoid str/bytes objects.

Code:# yum install python2
Worst case scenario will be that you have to add the EPEL or RPMFusion repos for it to work.
