There is no reason why the 2to3 script can't be gutted and turned into just a stub that uses runpy to call lib2to3.__main__. Also has the nice benefit that one can use ``-m lib2to3`` instead of having to use the 2to3 script.

The attached patch adds lib2to3.__main__ and tweaks 2to3.

Uh, I must say I find typing "lib2to3" quite ugly.

I don't find it ideal either, but ``python -m lib2to3`` gives complete control over which VM is used since it's specified right on the command line. I don't expect this to become the common way to invoke 2to3, just **a** way to invoke it.

It is unfortunate that the cute name for the tool is not valid as a module name.  How about renaming "lib2to3" to "to3".  The offending leading digit is strictly redundant (there is no 1to3 after all).

Would needlessly break code for such a minor perk. I mean I doubt very many people will use this feature if it goes in. It's just rather nice for those who do want the feature to exist in the first place.

+1.  Not sure this needs unit tests; I suppose you plan to add a note to the docs.
msg127932 - (view) Author: Brett Cannon (brett.cannon) * (Python committer) Date: 2011-02-04 20:04
Yeah, probably some little mention in the docs.

r88503 has the patch in 3.3

Didn't both with documenting it since I only expect core devs who are debugging something with 2to3 will want to use this approach.
