Thanks. I didn't know where to find it and thought I had to install it.

I opened a command window in my Python33/progs dir, started Python,
and ran it on a tiny test program called loops.py but I get "invalid
syntax" Any idea why?:

>>> 2to3 loops.py
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    2to3 loops.py
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The loops.py program simply had the old-style print as a single test
statement. ie:

print 'Machiavelli'
