Brett Cannon added the comment: Would needlessly break code for such a minor perk. I mean I doubt very many people will use this feature if it goes in. It's just rather nice for those who do want the feature to exist in the first place. -- ___ Pyth

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: It is unfortunate that the cute name for the tool is not valid as a module name. How about renaming "lib2to3" to "to3". The offending leading digit is strictly redundant (there is no 1to3 after all). -- nosy: +belopolsky _
