After much fiddling around, I got 2to3 to work! And it did a fine, if
not perfect job on mycalc.py (which has about 120 functions and 1993
lines).
What I did that worked, was to use the E:\Python26\Tools\Scripts, and
not Python31. E:\Python26\Tools\Scripts has 2to3.py. I added the
folder lib2to3\ and mycalc.py to E:\Python26\Tools\Scripts, and did a
E:\Python26\Tools\Scripts>2to3 -w mycalc.py
The -w switch first backed up mycalc.py as mycalc.py.bak, and then
2to3.py went to work. The only problems it couldn't handle are shown
below. They are all of the same sort, involving a unicode error. I
simply remmed out the problem causing functions, and now it seems
mycalc.py is good to go with Python 3.1. I'll look into the "unicode"
errors later -- much later.
>>> from mycalc import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
from mycalc import *

I also ran 2to3 again and this time captured the output as what
appears to be a diff file:
