See post 12 again. Also, do take time to read the link I gave you on permissions.

I think i have now changed it to pi.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/tracker
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -l /home/pi | grep tracker
drwxr-xr-x 4 pi   pi   4096 Jul 16 22:28 tracker
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

Yep and the files should be OK as well, since -R does that recursively. Try running 2to3 again and see if you encounter any more problems.

That now looks ok.

That now works using Thonny, after using 2to3. when before it would not.
Thanks for all the help.
