Do this do what you want:

#setup.py
import sys
from distutils.core import setup

package_data = {'enum': [...]}

if sys.version_info >= (3,0):
    package_data['enum'].append( 'test/py3_test_enum.py')
else:
    package_data['enum'].append( 'test/py2_test_enum.py')

setup(package_data = package_data, ...)
