You have to modify your existing Python code.  It's often easy to do. 
There is the tool that tries to convert from Python 2 to Python 3; you 
may need to do some extra work after that.  Depending on the code you 
may even be able to make it work with both Python 2.7 and 3.x.  Often 
the biggest change is to print statements:

Python 2:
print a, b, c

Python3:
print(a, b, c)

If you are very unlucky, your code will depend on some package that has 
never been ported to Python 3.  But that would be unusual.
