But what about the 2to3 tool? If you use that, then how much more is
there to deal with?

I installed Python 3 and found that a little bandwidth monitor stopped
working. After running it through 2to3, there were only a couple of

Unicode strings, I had to go b" " for them), but the bulk of it was
fine.
