Working with both Python 3 and Python 2.7 in Sublime? Can't make yourself used to type `print` with brackets? Put this [simple snippet](https://github.com/dmi3/sublime-text-config/blob/master/snippets/print.sublime-snippet) in your [Sublime Text User Package directory](http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/sublime-text-3/basic_concepts.html#the-packages-directory). It will autocomplete `print` statement with brackets.

Bonus tip for Linux users. Tired to switch build system from `Python` to `Python 3` and back? Just want to Sublime Text use [shebang/hashbang](https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/Shebang) when running `Build` (F7) command? I.e:

* If your file starts with `#!/usr/bin/python3` use Python3
* If your file starts with `#!/usr/bin/python` use Python
* If your file starts with `#!/usr/bin/env python` use default Python version
* If your file starts with `#!/bin/bash` or `perl` e.t.c., run file defined app..

Put this [simple build system](https://github.com/dmi3/sublime-text-config/blob/master/Run.sublime-build) in your [Sublime Text User Package directory](http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/sublime-text-3/basic_concepts.html#the-packages-directory), then select `Tools → Build System → Run`, and you will have universal runner based on file first line.
