This is a known upstream problem. https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issues/96/cant-have-a-python-3-setuppy While that bug describes the inverse issue (i.e. /usr/bin/tox being a Python 2 program and trying to run setup.py for a Python 3-only project), it's exactly the same issue. The best workaround right now is to make your setup.py bilingual. Once tox can install your package, everything else should be interpreter version independent.
