Agile development and unittests. An installation hook means that you need to install the package before running the tests. Which is fine for CI but horrible during development. "python3 run-tests.py" beats "make venv; install library; run testsuite" anytime in terms of development speed.
"python3 setup.py test" works already with 2to3 (it builds the code and runs the tests under build/). It is however slow and it can be a bit annoying to have to debug things by looking at the generated code under build/lib.linux-i686-3.2/ (or similar).
