Using Futurize
Futurize takes in your Python 2 code and turns it into valid Python 3 code, and also makes it backwards compatible with Python 2 using future package.
There are mainly two ways on how you can translate your script using Futurize. More information could be found here.
- Open Command Prompt
-
cd
C:\Instrument\Apps\Python\Scripts -
futurize
path\to\your\script
Now it should suggest some changes, to overwrite your current file with the suggested changes run the following command.
-
futurize -w
path\to\your\script
You have to manually create a list of python scripts you want to translate and place them in a separate folder. Replace path\to\your\recently\created\folder with the name of the folder where you have bundled all your script.
- Open Command Prompt
cd C:\Instrument\Apps\Python\Scriptsfuturize path\to\your\recently\created\folder -wno name_of_your_output_folder
name_of_your_output_folder = name of the folder where you want to save the output, does not require to be created beforehand.
The output will be saved in path\to\your\folder\name_of_your_output_folder
Python 2 str is equivalent to python 3 bytes and Python 2 Unicode is now Python 3's default string literal. Unicode in Python 2 is implicitly converted to bytes when it is being compared against bytes b'123' == u'123 will result to True in Python 2 whereas in Python 3 this will result to False.
In Python 3, all divisions between int values will result into float. If you want an integer division/floor division '//' can be used in both python 2 and 3.
