All my programs converted perfectly there, both the () and changing
from >> sys.stderr to ,file=sys.stderr).

OTOH I never really got comfortable with the python2 hacks for
handling UTF I/O, stuff like codecs.getwriter(u'utf-8')(sys.stdout).
Programs that handled both binary and UTF strings were a real pain
to maintain. 2to3 couldn't unpick all that, but at least the python3
replacement code was/is much cleaner and easier to write and maintain.

But the volume of my own code is now much smaller than in the past,
and a fraction of LP's.

Cheers,
David.
