Using Nativecam generated /xml files in 2.9

Using Nativecam generated /xml files in 2.9 was created by skrap58
Hello,
I have LInuxcnc 2.9 set up and running on Ubuntu Lunar 23.04 and the 6.2 rt kernel. Everything is running as expected. I have several .xml files for machining that were generated using NativeCam in Axis on 2.8.
My question , Can these files be converted to run on 2.9? and "What is the procedure for converting these files to run with 2.9?"

Thank you for the very quick reply Rodw Do you have a preferred way to convert. I have read about the 2to3 converter here
docs.python.org/3/library/2to3.html
and that calls for .py files. Sorry for my inexperience with python, Would this tool for for the .xml files?

Those xml files are only usable in NativeCAM, they cannot be converted.
What Rod is referring to is that NativeCAM itself would need to be converted to python3/gtk3 for it to work together with linuxcnc 2.9 or higher and that would be quite a bit of work.
