[issue35260] 2to3 Parse Error on Python 3 print() with arguments

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure I understand the report: 2to3 expects a valid Python 2 file as input, and the file a.py isn't a valid Python 2 file: the `print` line is a SyntaxError in the absence of a `from __future__ import print_function`.

So yes, this *is* being treated like Python 2 code, but that's what 2to3 is designed to do.

Can you say what you expected to happen here?
