Definitely the latter! However, I think we should first upgrade gub
to contain Python 2.6 as a first step – the compatibility layers that
allow simple coding for both Python 2 and 3 expect at least that
version.

Yes. The patch in this pull request should be added to gub ASAP.
Andrew, assuming that you have a working gub environment, could you
