python 2to3: How to selectively enable fixers and only do one or two of them?

Question

I am using 2to3 to update some python2 code. Unfortunately there is some fixers I do not like:

• There are some fixers I do trust (like the print fixer).
• So I would like to only run one the fixers I trust.

For Python 2to3, how do you disable all fixers and only do one or two fixers? For example if you just want to run print fixer"?

Answer 1

You just have to do:

2to3 --fix print your_file.py

• I misread the documentation.
• When you provide no --fix, then all fixers are enabled.
• If you provide one or more --fix then only those fixers you specify are processed.
• When you provide --nofix and no --fix, then all fixers are enabled and only the fixers you specify with --nofix are disabled.
