Indeed, manual conversion may be trivial.

Additionally, you can install python3.12-devel to get
2to3-3.12 rather than risk fouling up your system with pip
install¹.

Then you can run it as `2to3-3.12 -w /path/to//script.py`
and it should fix many of the issues -- but not necessarily
all of them.  It makes a backup of the files it modifies, by
default.  For basic usage, `2to3-3.12 --help` is useful.

The 2to3 tool and library were removed in python 3.13, after
being deprecated since python 3.11.

¹ I'm sure many people swear by pip, but I think it's barely
  better than running `curl ... | bash` to install things,
  which I consider to be a bad practice.
