Would it be possible (and sensible) to use the 2to3 machinery to produce 36to37.py, etc., to do mechanical replacements when possible and flag other things when necessary?

I suggest you to watch Daniele Esposti's talk "Evolution or stagnation programming languages". He explains that Javascript is more successful than Python to introduce language evolutions thanks to transpiling (things like babel and polyfill): https://www.pycon.it/conference/talks/evolution-or-stagnation-programming-languages
