+ The 2to3 conversion utility has been long discouraged in favor of writing
+ multi-version-capable scripts. As of Setuptools 46.2.0 it's deprecated and
+ slated for removal from the Python 3.10 standard library. Projects which
+ still need it are encouraged to perform conversion prior to packaging. See
+ https://bugs.python.org/issue40360 and
+ https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2086 for more details.
