 See what breaks, then fix it!
-==== Help port mach-core to Python 3 ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1473498 bug 1473498]) ====
+==== Port a Mach Command ====
-# Edit python/mach/mach/test/python.ini to remove the skip-if
+The mach driver (toplevel `mach` file) contains a whitelist of commands that still run with Python 2. Pick the command that you'd like to convert and then:
-# Run: ./mach python-test --python 3 python/mach
-# Fix the errors until all tests pass
-See the [[#References]] for links to other ideas and tracking bugs.
+# Remove it from the whitelist
+# Run: ./mach <command>
+# See what breaks and fix it!
+# Repeat with a variety of different flags and arguments
+# Make sure any Python unittests running in CI have Python 3 enabled (see above)
