Convert python 2 code to 3 in PyCharm

python git python-2.7 python-3.x pycharm

I found a way in Pycharm IDE to convert file from v2 to v3 using 2to3 tool.

I applied in pycharm comunity edition v 2016.2.3 in windows environment.

click terminal in status barNow, you are in shell command, in the root of your project.
type the command (to convert myfile.py):

2to3 myfile.py -w

The tool modifies the code of the file, and your IDE is reflected with the changes.

To modify all your files in the folder, type the command

2to3 . -w

The option -w to actually write the changes. For more details write:

2to3 -h

python git python-2.7 python-3.x pycharm

Goto the folder where your python2script.py is existing in command line,

then execute the command:

python C:/python/Tools/scripts/2to3.py -w python2script.py

you can see that your python2scipt.py is updated.

python git python-2.7 python-3.x pycharm

In order to convert your python script from version-2 to version-3, you can simply use 2to3 utility.

On linux terminal -

$ 2to3 my_file.py              # shows output only on terminal

$ 2to3 -w my_file.py           # overwrites the file with python-3 code

where my_file.py is the file which you want to convert.
