But a decent system that puts me at the site of syntax errors alleviates this. Logic bugs are a much bigger problem.I tend to print a lot of tracing messages in my programs, in the form print (x, y, z) expecting to print the tuple (x,y,z) in a form that I can read back into an analysis program. That's going to break without throwing any syntax errors if I ever switch to Python 3.
I would hope and expect that 2to3 will properly add a second pair. But I can see that that would be a problem with new code. To make your life easier, and even save keystrokes:
