Migrating an Existing Application From Python 2 to 3: Overview
This is the first video of the course revealing the courses objectives.
00:00
We’ll be discussing how to convert a Python 2 application or library to Python 3. The library we’ll be working with today is delorean, a datetime library that I wrote in Python 2.7, which should support Python 2.6 and up to Python 3.2.
00:20 there are tests failing for Python 2.6 as well as Python 3.2. So today we’ll be going about and discussing different ways to convert your application to be runnable on all versions of Python.
00:37 I will also talk about a few things that you may want to be aware of when converting from Python 2 to Python 3, as well as some migration strategies for taking your libraries and converting them and providing them for people who use Python 3 and for Python 2.

Before we start converting delorean, let’s first take a look at the things we’ll see when dealing with code in Python 3.
