  30% of Django developers upgrade every LTS release[1]. As Django 3.2 runs out of support in April this year[2], it's worth celebrating Adam Johnson's package django-upgrade (https://github.com/adamchainz/django-upgrade) which has a set of fixers to automatically update your Django code to the version of your choice.

  Curious if anyone has used 2to3 (https://docs.python.org/3/library/2to3.html) for upgrading Python code and can share their experience with it? Would you recommend?

  Running https://github.com/adamchainz/django-upgrade with https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade recursively will give an idea about how much work is there on Django side. Still, there may have dependency on third party libraries (both django+python). Another thing to consider is which role Django performing here, serving APIs or html views. As good test coverage is already there, you are on lucky side.
