How to port Python 2 Code to Python 3
:author: Brett Cannon
Python 2 reached its official end-of-life at the start of 2020. This means
that no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to Python 2 - it's
no longer supported: see :pep:373 and
status of Python versions <https://devguide.python.org/versions>_.
If you are looking to port an extension module instead of pure Python code,
please see :ref:cporting-howto.
The archived python-porting_ mailing list may contain some useful guidance.
Since Python 3.11 the original porting guide was discontinued.
You can find the old guide in the
archive <https://docs.python.org/3.10/howto/pyporting.html>_.
There are also multiple third-party guides that might be useful:
