"""
Compatibility with Python 2 and 3.

This module exposes aliases and functions that make it easier to write Python
code that is compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.

.. data:: basestring

   Alias for :func:`python2:basestring` (in Python 2) or :class:`python3:str`
   (in Python 3). See also :func:`is_string()`.

.. data:: HTMLParser

   Alias for :func:`python2:HTMLParser.HTMLParser` (in Python 2) or
   :func:`python3:html.parser.HTMLParser` (in Python 3).

.. data:: interactive_prompt

   Alias for :func:`python2:raw_input()` (in Python 2) or
   :func:`python3:input()` (in Python 3).

.. data:: StringIO

   Alias for :class:`python2:StringIO.StringIO` (in Python 2) or
   :class:`python3:io.StringIO` (in Python 3).

.. data:: unicode

   Alias for :func:`python2:unicode` (in Python 2) or :class:`python3:str` (in
   Python 3). See also :func:`coerce_string()`.

.. data:: monotonic

   Alias for :func:`python3:time.monotonic()` (in Python 3.3 and higher) or
   `monotonic.monotonic()` (a `conditional dependency
   <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/monotonic/>`_ on older Python versions).
