Are you referring to the official guidelines for migrating from Python 2 to Python 3? The official guide at <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html> doesn't support that assertion. The ‘2to3’ program is presented as a tool to assist. I don't know of anything official saying “it does everything for you”. Even when it was first introduced it was only ever presented as a *start* to the porting effort.
Not much of a tool if the 47 outstanding issues on the bug tracker are anything to go by.
