The standard library contains a rich set of fixers that will handle almost all code. 2to3 supporting library <a class="reference internal" href="#module-lib2to3" title="lib2to3: the 2to3 library"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">lib2to3</span></tt></a> is, however, a flexible and generic library, so it is possible to write your own fixers for 2to3. <a class="reference internal" href="#module-lib2to3" title="lib2to3: the 2to3 library"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">lib2to3</span></tt></a> could also be adapted to custom applications in which Python code needs to be edited automatically.</p> <div class="section" id="using-2to3"> <span id="to3-using"></span><h2>25.4.1. Using 2to3<a class="headerlink" href="#using-2to3" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>2to3 will usually be installed with the Python interpreter as a script. It is also located in the <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">Tools/scripts</span></tt> directory of the Python root.</p> <p>2to3’s basic arguments are a list of files or directories to transform. The directories are recursively traversed for Python sources.</p> <p>Here is a sample Python 2.x source file, <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">example.py</span></tt>:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">greet</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="k">print</span> <span class="s">"Hello, {0}!"</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">format</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">print</span> <span class="s">"What's your name?"</span> <span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">raw_input</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="n">greet</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">)</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>It can be converted to Python 3.x code via 2to3 on the command line:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 example.py</pre> </div> <p>A diff against the original source file is printed. 2to3 can also write the needed modifications right back to the source file. (A backup of the original file is made unless <em class="xref std std-option">-n</em> is also given.) Writing the changes back is enabled with the <em class="xref std std-option">-w</em> flag:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 -w example.py</pre> </div> <p>After transformation, <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">example.py</span></tt> looks like this:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">greet</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="k">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"Hello, {0}!"</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">format</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">))</span> <span class="k">print</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"What's your name?"</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nb">input</span><span class="p">()</span> <span class="n">greet</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">name</span><span class="p">)</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>Comments and exact indentation are preserved throughout the translation process.</p> <p>By default, 2to3 runs a set of <a class="reference internal" href="#to3-fixers"><em>predefined fixers</em></a>. The <em class="xref std std-option">-l</em> flag lists all available fixers. An explicit set of fixers to run can be given with <em class="xref std std-option">-f</em>. Likewise the <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-x"><em class="xref std std-option">-x</em></a> explicitly disables a fixer. The following example runs only the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">imports</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">has_key</span></tt> fixers:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 -f imports -f has_key example.py</pre> </div> <p>This command runs every fixer except the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">apply</span></tt> fixer:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 -x apply example.py</pre> </div> <p>Some fixers are <em>explicit</em>, meaning they aren’t run by default and must be listed on the command line to be run. Here, in addition to the default fixers, the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">idioms</span></tt> fixer is run:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 -f all -f idioms example.py</pre> </div> <p>Notice how passing <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">all</span></tt> enables all default fixers.</p> <p>Sometimes 2to3 will find a place in your source code that needs to be changed, but 2to3 cannot fix automatically. In this case, 2to3 will print a warning beneath the diff for a file. You should address the warning in order to have compliant 3.x code.</p> <p>2to3 can also refactor doctests. To enable this mode, use the <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-d"><em class="xref std std-option">-d</em></a> flag. Note that <em>only</em> doctests will be refactored. This also doesn’t require the module to be valid Python. For example, doctest like examples in a reST document could also be refactored with this option.</p> <p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-v"><em class="xref std std-option">-v</em></a> option enables output of more information on the translation process.</p> <p>Since some print statements can be parsed as function calls or statements, 2to3 cannot always read files containing the print function. When 2to3 detects the presence of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">from</span> <span class="pre">__future__</span> <span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">print_function</span></tt> compiler directive, it modifies its internal grammar to interpret <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#print" title="print"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">print()</span></tt></a> as a function. This change can also be enabled manually with the <em class="xref std std-option">-p</em> flag. Use <em class="xref std std-option">-p</em> to run fixers on code that already has had its print statements converted.</p> <p>The <em class="xref std std-option">-o</em> or <em class="xref std std-option">--output-dir</em> option allows specification of an alternate directory for processed output files to be written to. The <em class="xref std std-option">-n</em> flag is required when using this as backup files do not make sense when not overwriting the input files.</p> <p class="versionadded"> <span class="versionmodified">New in version 2.7.3: </span>The <em class="xref std std-option">-o</em> option was added.</p> <p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-W"><em class="xref std std-option">-W</em></a> or <em class="xref std std-option">--write-unchanged-files</em> flag tells 2to3 to always write output files even if no changes were required to the file. This is most useful with <em class="xref std std-option">-o</em> so that an entire Python source tree is copied with translation from one directory to another. This option implies the <em class="xref std std-option">-w</em> flag as it would not make sense otherwise.</p> <p class="versionadded"> <span class="versionmodified">New in version 2.7.3: </span>The <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-W"><em class="xref std std-option">-W</em></a> flag was added.</p> <p>The <em class="xref std std-option">--add-suffix</em> option specifies a string to append to all output filenames. The <em class="xref std std-option">-n</em> flag is required when specifying this as backups are not necessary when writing to different filenames. Example:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 -n -W --add-suffix=3 example.py</pre> </div> <p>Will cause a converted file named <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">example.py3</span></tt> to be written.</p> <p class="versionadded"> <span class="versionmodified">New in version 2.7.3: </span>The <em class="xref std std-option">--add-suffix</em> option was added.</p> <p>To translate an entire project from one directory tree to another use:</p> <div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ 2to3 --output-dir=python3-version/mycode -W -n python2-version/mycode</pre> </div> </div> <div class="section" id="fixers"> <span id="to3-fixers"></span><h2>25.4.2.
