What steps can I take to resolve conflicts between Python 2 and Python 3 when using depot_tools, ensuring smooth operation and compatibility?

Resolving conflicts between Python 2 and Python 3 when using depot_tools can be a bit tricky, but here are some steps you can take to ensure smooth operation and compatibility:

1. Update depot_tools Make sure you have the latest version of depot_tools, as newer versions may have better support for Python 3.

2. Specify Python Version You can specify which version of Python to use when running depot_tools commands by setting the PYTHON environment variable.

. Check Compatibility Ensure that the specific tools and scripts you are using within depot_tools are compatible with Python 3. Some older scripts may still require Python 2, so you may need to update or modify them.

4. Use Virtual Environments Consider using virtual environments to manage dependencies and isolate your Python environment. This can help avoid conflicts between Python 2 and Python 3.

5. Modify Scripts If you encounter specific issues with scripts that are not compatible with Python 3, you may need to modify them to ensure compatibility. Look for any Python 2-specific syntax or libraries and update them to Python 3 equivalents.

6. Consult Documentation and Community Refer to the depot_tools documentation and community forums for any known issues or solutions related to Python 2 and Python 3 conflicts. You might find helpful information or similar cases that have been resolved.
