| How to port Python 2 Code to Python 3 |
| ************************************* |

| |
| Python 2 reached its official end-of-life at the start of 2020. This means |
| that no new bug reports, fixes, or changes will be made to Python 2 - it's |
| no longer supported: see :pep:`373` and |
| `status of Python versions <https://devguide.python.org/versions>`_. |
| |
| If you are looking to port an extension module instead of pure Python code, |
| please see :ref:`cporting-howto`. |
| |
| The archived python-porting_ mailing list may contain some useful guidance. |
| |
| Since Python 3.13 the original porting guide was discontinued. |
| You can find the old guide in the |
| `archive <https://docs.python.org/3.12/howto/pyporting.html>`_. |
