Yes, it looks like it does.  I never bothered running 2to3 on gps/*.py
since I assumed you'd already done that in your initial pass, and just
fixed things that actually failed.

Of course running 2to3 *now*, it wants to rename the wrapper, which would
make it completely broken.  It should really be called 2to3only, since it
complains about anything you try to do for Python 2 compatibility. :-)
