I can't find where it is recommended to move code to Python 2.7 before porting.

Then the docs should say that this is the 2.6 code, not 2.x

Plus, it's recommended to move to 2.6 or 2.7 before trying to port to 3.x.

Your title is untrue: This example code from the 2.6 docs is valid 2.6 code.  I 
can’t find a problem with that.

[issue11644] 2to3 example.py is not a Python 2.x file

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik :

http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html#using-2to3 contains an example.py 
sample which is claimed to be Python 2.x source, but that's not true:

def greet(name):
print "Hello, {0}!".format(name)
print "What's your name?"
name = raw_input()
greet(name)

The code is valid only for Python 2.6+. For previous versions it gives the 
following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ewe.py", line 5, in 
greet(name)
  File "ewe.py", line 2, in greet
print "Hello, {0}!".format(name)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'format'
