This has been my experience, by the way.  I've used a few small pure
python libraries written for python 2.x that don't have 3.x versions,
and they've all worked just fine with just a quick run through the
2to3 process.  I can't speak for larger libraries, or ones with lots
of compiled code, but my experience with 2to3 has been great.
