> It is difficult to use the python avro module in projects that maintain simultaneous compatibility between python 2 and python 3, because there are small differences in the API between the two versions in the module that seem unnecessary.
> For example, to parse a schema string in python 2:
> {code}
> from avro.schema import parse
> {code}
> and in python 3:
> {code}
> from avro.schema import Parse
> {code}
> In Python2, DatumReader's constructor has keyword argument "writers_schema", and in Python 3 it becomes "writer_schema" (no s).
> Would it be possible to align method names and arguments across the two modules?
