[Numpy-discussion] Making a 2to3 distutils command ?

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

Currently, when building numpy with python 3, the 2to3 conversion 
happens before calling any distutils command. Was there a reason for 
doing it as it is done now ?

I would like to make a proper numpy.distutils command for it, so that it 
can be more finely controlled (in particular, using the -j option). It 
would also avoid duplication in scipy.

cheers,

David
