3to2 is a Python library which converts valid 3.x syntax into valid 2.x syntax, if possible. It is compatible with Ubuntu and can be used for syntactical conversion.
3to2 is a Python library designed to transform and refactor 3.x syntax into 2.x syntax in cases where it is possible. Although it is a relatively simple tool, it can be incredibly valuable for developers who are working on projects that require compatibility with earlier versions of Python.
Compatibility
One thing to note is that, at the time of writing this review, 3to2 has only been tested on Ubuntu. However, since Ubuntu is an incredibly popular operating system, we can expect the tool to function equally well on other Linux distributions.
Ease of Use
3to2 is incredibly easy to install and use. It is available on PyPI, and can be installed using pip. Once installed, users simply need to import the library and run their code through the 3to2.convert method to transform their code from 3.x to 2.x.
Limitations
It's important to note that 3to2 cannot convert all 3.x syntax into 2.x syntax. If a syntactical conversion is not possible, you will need to revise your code manually. Additionally, 3to2 is not able to correct issues that arise due to differences in the standard library between Python 2 and 3.
Conclusion
Overall, 3to2 is an incredibly useful tool for developers who need to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of Python. While it does have some limitations, its ease of use and effectiveness in refactoring straightforward 3.x syntax make it an indispensable tool for many developers.
