If 2to3 is being run you'll get quite a lot of fairly obvious output to that effect. So it sounds like it's not.
A quick look at bdist_egg seems to indicate that it never runs the build_py step, which is what runs 2to3. So this may be a bug.
Good thought. python setup.py build does run 2to3, and as you say the output is not something you can miss. So setup.py bdist_wheel isn't running build, which is likely a bug (but also not hard to work around). That's probably good enough for now - this whole exercise is a local hack, so just getting it to work is likely good enough. I'm not enough of a fan of the whole 2to3 process to be bothered spending time producing a reproducible test case, etc, for a good-quality bug report. I might just report it as it stands and leave it at that, though, so at least it doesn't get forgotten. Thanks. Paul
