If you know the name of a command, you can use yum provides to see if it's available in any packages in the repo:

yum provides \*bin/2to3

When I ran this on Amazon Linux, I found the following packages: python27-tools and python36-tools .

If it were not available in any packages, you could install this using pip :

sudo pip install 2to3
