$ #rm -f file_that_is_not_here.py
$ 2to3 file_that_is_not_here.py


The program spends considerable time preparing itself only to discover
that it cannot open the file.

I'm tempted to close this as a "won't fix". For 99.9% of cases, it would
only be annoying to check for the presence of a file before starting up.

Granted, this isn't the hottest issue circulating.
