Before I start to write my own refactoring tool, I was wondering if anyone here had some experience in this, and could give me some hints.
Coul you could just write a 3to2 fixer? I don't know how hard it is to run just a selected set of fixers (so that you could use it to generate python3 code), but it seems to me that renaming modules is something that 3to2 (and 2to3, of course) should be good at.
The one thing rope is good at is to find where a given variable name is used, and rename all occurrences recursively. So basically, when you rename an import, it renames all the code that uses it. I don't really know how 2to3/3to2 work but I assumed that it does not do this, but simply give you a hook for every visited node. IOW that looking for dependencies is to be done Cheers Tarek
