2to3 is a tool that automatically translates 2.x code to 3.x code. The code is located at http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/2to3. At the moment, it is principally maintained by BenjaminPeterson.

Here are some project ideas:

* Some people have expressed interest in adding directives in the source to 2to3. So you could write:

  •  # 2to3: strings-are-bytes
     x = "hi"
     # 2to3: end
    and that would get translated to

    x = b"hi"
