There is an existing 2to3 and other pages for Python code conversion. I 
do not know of any for CAPI conversion. The need for such has been 
acknowledged among the devs but if there is nothing yet, we need someone 
with specialized experience and a bit of time to make a first draft. If 
you start one, give it an easy to remember name C2to3? 2to3Capi? You 
choose. And link to it from the 2to3 page

In his post on this thread, Martin Loewis volunteered to list what he 
knows from psycopg2 if someone else will edit.
