We might be at cross purposes here. I don't see how Distribute helps, because the use case I'm talking about is not about distributing or installing stuff, but iteratively changing and testing code which needs to work on 2.6+, 3.2 and 3.3+.
Make sure you can run the tests with python setup.py test, and you're "in the butter", as we say in Sweden. :-)
If the 2.x code depends on having u'xxx' literals, then 3.2 testing will potentially involve running a fixer on all files in the project every time a change is made, writing to a separate directory, or else a fixer which is integrated into the editing environment so it knows what changed. This is painful
Sure, and distribute does this for you. http://python3porting.com/2to3.html //Lennart
