3.2.3. Python Usages to Avoid
Avoid the following if possible, otherwise research the compatibility issues involved (hacky workarounds are often available):
long integers
octal integer literals
mixed binary and string data in one data file or variable
metaclasses
locale.strcoll and locale.strxfrm
the configparser and ConfigParser modules
importing compatibility modules such as six (so we don’t have to add them to Pacemaker’s dependencies)
