I want to have an uniform way of using input over python <3 and >=3. Is there any cleaner way to do it apart of of version detection:

if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
    raw_input("Press Enter to continue...");
else:
    input("Press Enter to continue...");

    Slightly cleaner using the same idea is to have at the top of the file: if sys.version_info[0] < 3: input = raw_input Commented Feb 9, 2014 at 7:49

The six or future libraries will more or less take care of this (and many other cross-version concerns) for you.
