This might be useful: http://python3porting.com/2to3.html although it's not clear from your question whether you're competent in Python and just a little unclear on 2to3 or coming new to the whole thing and hoping that 2to3 will give you a pain-free conversion. If it's the latter then I'm afraid your ride may be rockier than you hoped. :( Also, I note that you're UK-based (albeit at the other end of it from where I am). Depending on where this thread goes you might get some local help by posting to the python-uk mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk It's a quiet list, mostly for local events and jobs, but you might find someone in your neighbourhood (or at least in your own country) who could give you some help.
