Hi,

I want to create a package (pyraf, #711038) for both Python2 and
Python3. While the package itself is still not Python 3 compatible,
upstream says that running through 2to3 will make it; however the
resulting code is not Python 2 compatible anymore.

Is there a way to instruct pybuild to run the Python 3 code through
2to3?

python-urwid does this, by passing use_2to3 to the distutils setup() function, I guess you could patch it to do the same.

Cheers,
