As answered by @wovano in my question regarding a similar (or as the matter of fact, probably the same) problem, 2to3 fails to parse as this is a proper Python 3 syntax and not Python 2. In my particular case, and as it seems it could be a case also here, it was named argument of the print function that does not exist in Python 2.
