+That depends how &quot;compelling&quot; you expect the argument to be :)
+The current situation is clearly not satisfactory.
+The solution of generating bytecode at install time looks fine. I am

+feel free to ask them, I'd be glad to answer.

+</I>
+What is the issue with &quot;handling 2to3&quot;? It's a developer tool and
+certainly shouldn't be invoked at install time if that's what you are
+asking. Generally, I don't think you (as a packager) have to invoke
+2to3 manually at all. If 2to3 is part of the packaged software's build
+process, then their setup.py will probably invoke it automatically with
+the right options.
