Best way of checking for Python version

I am thinking in the lines of…

import sys
if sys.version_info.major == 3:

Do something

elif sys.version_info.major == 2:

Do something else

Anyone has any better and cleaner solution, perhaps more wxPython-like? 'Cause my lines are purely Python.

I like this approach

PY3 = sys.version_info[0] == 3

if PY3:
    doSomething()
else:
    doSomethingElse()

If you're using Phoenix then the six module has been copied into the wx.lib package, and it has that and a bunch of other stuff to help you write code that is compatible with both 2.7 and 3.

So what's wrong with *that* ?
