I tried to run it on the command prompt (I use Windows XP) but it
doesn't work either.

I opened the command prompt:

C:\Documents and Settings\User>

Then I typed '$ 2to3 testscript.py':

C:\Documents and Settings\User>$ 2to3.py testscript.py

But then this appears:

C:\Documents and Settings\User>$ 2to3.py testscript.py
'$' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Anyway I'll try some UNIX. Thanks.
