Convert python 2 code to 3 in PyCharm

I found a way in Pycharm IDE to convert file from v2 to v3 using 2to3 tool.

I applied in pycharm comunity edition v 2016.2.3 in windows environment.

  • click terminal in status bar
    Now, you are in shell command, in the root of your project.
  • type the command (to convert myfile.py):
2to3 myfile.py -w

The tool modifies the code of the file, and your IDE is reflected with the changes.

To modify all your files in the folder, type the command

2to3 . -w

The option -w to actually write the changes.
For more details write:

2to3 -h
