You can then download that, and use something like 2to3 to convert it.
- mapleoin 13y agoNo, because the packages provided by your distribution are a subset of all the python3 packages available.

- pekk 13y agoNo, distributions are way behind 2to3 is bad and the code involved has to be tested using it anyway. The normal way to install Python packages is not by manually downloading them
- hdevalence 13y agoDepends on your distro, I guess. Arch has python -> python3, so it's quite rare that you'd have a python2-foobar package but not a python-foobar package, unless there was no python3 version.
