I have some beginners questions about distutils build_py_2to3 command:
- Can it convert doctests? How?
- Shouldn't build_py_2to3 use a differnt build directory than the normal
build_py command? Perhaps build/lib-3 or something like that?
- Should programming idioms that it fails to convert be reported as bugs?
Here is one example that isn't converted at all:
class CoClass(COMObject):
from comtypes._meta import _coclass_meta as __metaclass__
It is not obvious immeditately how the converted code should look like,
but at least the converter could issue a warning.
