[Distutils] pip/easy_install mercurial in virtualenv on Python 3.3

[Christian Tismer]

With Python 3.3:

in a virtualenv/venv, when trying

$ pip install mercurial

or, after trying several options,

$ easy_install mercurial

I get the complaint

error: Setup script exited with setup.py with python3 needs --c2to3 
(experimental)

But when I try to do this accordingly, I get in either case again:

$ easy_install mercurial --c2to3
error: Setup script exited with setup.py with python3 needs --c2to3 
(experimental)

Any clue where to put this option?

cheers -- chris
