I'm a bit stuck trying to make numpydoc Python 3 compatible. I made 
setup.py try to use distutils.command.build_py.build_py_2to3 in order to 
transform installed code automatically to Python 3. However, the tests 
(in tests folder) are not part of the package but rather package_data, 
so they won't get transformed. How can I automatically transform the 
tests too? Probably there is some easy and "right" solution to this, but 
I haven't been able to figure out a nice and simple solution.. Any 
ideas? Thanks.
