The one example I specifically remember was this one http://code.activestate.com/recipes/532908-text-to-pdf-converter-rewrite/ - I happened to be looking for a simple pdf utility and this one was well reviewed. I subsequently have been told that the parts that 2to3 had trouble with were bad practice to begin with - but what do I know. Most of the other examples 2to3 converted (once I discovered it existed and how to use it in my setup) or I was able to decipher myself.
I’ll take a look at your tutorial - thanks.
