Py3 support

  • Move the use_2to3 command from distribute
  • Make sure distutils2 works under Py3 using 2to3

Tasks for all

  • Write a small tutorial in docs/ for each feature you add

Misc

  • complete tutorial : http://bugs.python.org/issue8255

  • Promote and evangelize Distutils2–This will consist of helping python project to switch to/adopt Distutils2. We will define a list of targets at the beginning and the student will be in charge of helping them switching to Distutils2 if they want.
