> the 2to3 part of the PEP was a false promise that gave ammo to Python 2 fans
The PEP (3105) doesn't actually mention 2to3 anywhere, it just says that the fact that print is a statement (ie handled explicitly in the language syntax) means it is easy to write a tool to do the conversion automatically. Which is a perfectly valid point, even if 2to3 fails to do that for some reason.
