How to use/install python 2to3?


You need to first install the following packages:

apt install 2to3apt install python3-lib2to3apt install python3-toolz

For windows just install 2to3

pip install 2to3

Then, You can simply go to that directory your python file is in and type the following command:

2to3 ./filename.py

OR for writing the updated python 3 code to the existing file

2to3 . -w

This last will convert all the python files that are in the directory.


So the solution is that at least not for me, the Tools/scripts files were not automatically installed. On ubuntu this would be solved by installing python-examples which on opensuse is called python-demo


On CentOS (and other RHEL-like distros) you will need to run yum install python-tools, which installs 2to3 to /usr/bin/2to3
