I think 2to3 is designed to take 2.x code and turn it into 3.x code.  Codebases using tricks and hacks to support both 2.x and 3.x (like the example you linked to) cannot be handled by 2to3.  You have to make a choice between manual maintenance of parallel codebases, automatic 2to3 translation or cross-version compatibility.
