[Distutils] command_hooks and Python-3.3.0a3???

I don’t know.  I don’t really focus on the Python alpha releases; I have 
my eyes on the first beta, which will mean feature freeze for packaging 
and distutils2: after that point it won’t be possible to add or remove 
features, only bug fixes will be allowed.  The command hooks bug fix may 
go in before or after the beta; I’ll try to add the develop command 
before; I don’t know if the scripts generation feature (something like 
setuptools’ console_scripts/gui_scripts entry points) will be ready in 
time.  In the worst case people unsatisfied with packaging 1.0 in Python 
3.3 will be able to use it to install a distutils2 2.0 release from PyPI.

Cheers
