I refused to get involved in 2to3 migration projects for years. I recently took care of a 2to3 migration involving a popular web framework and a few technologies for one of my employer's clients. The codebase is large and convoluted but I still found it surprisingly easier and way more interesting than I expected. There is some actual difficulty in dealing with packages that have deprecated for years, and other gory details. But these days 2to3 drama is mostly a meme. The Python community, with a few exceptions, has done an amazing job at keeping things working.
