Using 2to3 is no longer the preferred way to port to Python 3. With changes that landed in 3.3, it is easier to create code that will run under python 2.7 and 3.3, without resorting to the translation steps that were needed for 3.0-3.2. Chuck Short has landed a series of patches modifying code by hand for some cases (mostly print and exceptions) and by using the six library in others (for iteration and module renaming).
