If you run ``echo "import commands" | ./2to3 -f imports -``, you end up with ``import subprocess``. That's bad as the code in the module works off of 'commands'. The fix really should be ``import subprocess as commands``.

Yeah, but then commands will be replaced with subprocess. $ cat > m import commands commands.getoutput() $ 2to3 m RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: buffer RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: idioms RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: ws_comma --- m (original) +++ m (refactored) @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ -import commands -commands.getoutput() +import subprocess +subprocess.getoutput()

Gotcha. Here is to hoping that won't cause issues with someone's variable name being silly.
