How to use 2to3 tool in windows?

Question

I tried to modify the sintax using 2to3 tool by running command

python C:\Python32\Tools\scripts\2to3.py neo4j.py 

and got the output

When opening neo4j.py however I noticed there hasn't been anything changed. Below is the block of code where changes (accoridng to output) should be made:

try:     import json except ImportError:     import simplejson as json try:     from urllib.parse import quote except ImportError:     from urllib import quote try:     from . import rest, batch, cypher except ImportError:     import rest, batch, cypher except ValueError:     import rest, batch, cypher  import logging logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) 

Does anyone know how to use 2to3 tool properly in order to port/change the code to v3.2?

Answer 1

You have to use the -w flag to actually write the changes:

python C:\Python32\Tools\scripts\2to3.py -w neo4j.py 

See the 2to3.py documentation.
