I guess my question then is "why do you care?" If 2to3 is run at install time then it's a cost, but it's one-time and if you really care you can always create your own wheel of the translated code or something.
Because I've written a packaging tool that doesn't use setup.py but instead uses a fully declarative format for building and installing packages, and I don't want that tool to run what can be a time-consuming step every time it installs certain packages, when that step isn't necessary. It's not a common use case, I grant you :-) Regards, Vinay Sajip
