Python 2 vs 3

Hello friends! I was wondering how many of you use python 2 and how many started with python 3. Right now version 2 is still the choice for many professional fields but version 3 is the way to go in the following years if you have any experience on how you switch from 2 to 3 I want to hear cause I will do that change professionally in short term thanks!!

I've only used Python 3, but there seems to be software that will do the conversion https://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html

I don't personally use Python, but i'd say the best way to switch is by looking at their differences. What's new in 3? https://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html

thanks for the answers. its not as simple as use a conversion software. some old 3rd party libraries for example rely on a specific version of python, there are as well OS peculiarities.. in general v3 is superior, as well in terms of speed, but I would like to know real cases of this transition
