proper use of use_2to3 with Distribute's test
I have a question regarding the proper use of the use_2to3 feature of Distribute's test, as described here: [1] http://packages.python.org/distribute/python3.html#distribute-as-help-during... My tests run correctly under Python 2.7 when running the following: python setup.py test However, when I switch to Python 3, I get a syntax error when running this command. The syntax error occurs in a module in a subdirectory of my working directory called "tests". Modules in this directory don't seem to be converted to Python 3 when using the "use_2to3" keyword argument. When I manually convert everything to Python 3 using the following, I am able to run unit tests without that same syntax error: 2to3 --write --nobackups --no-diffs . What is the proper way to tell setup() which files to convert to Python 3? Below is the relevant portion of my call to setup(): setup(name='pystache', ... packages=['pystache'], test_suite = 'tests', ) It might be worth expanding the documentation in the link [1] above with the additional information that an answer to my question will provide. Thanks, --Chris

Sorry, this should have been the following (i.e. my call does include the use_2to3 keyword)-- setup(name='pystache', ... packages=['pystache'], test_suite ='tests', use_2to3=True, ) Modules in my package's "pystache" directory are copied/converted to a directory called "build/lib/pystache", but not modules in my package's "test" directory.
It might be worth expanding the documentation in the link [1] above with the additional information that an answer to my question will provide.
