I have Python 3.0. I tried to use the 2to3 program included with the
interpreter to convert some scripts for Python 2.5 to Python 3.0
ones.
When I try to start it form the Python command line, it says it is a
syntax error.
Its always best to send us an actual cut n paste of error messages.
Its not clear where the error is coming from by your desription, it
could
be Python (most likely) or the shell.
This was the line of code:
$ 2to3 testscript.py
But I suspect...
this will run your default python interpreter which is likely to still
be your 2.5 version. THe convertion scrpt is almost certainly 3.0.
So I think you will need to explicitly call the interpreter:
$ some/path/to/python3 2to3 testscript.py
Actually isn't 2to3 a .py file too? ie 2to3.py?
Just some guesses... I haven't got around to installing Python 3 yet.
