I know. But I want to distribute a tar.gz source package. I can't
distribute binaries for 20 different platforms/python versions.

My suggestion: make a setup.py that simply checks the running version of Python, and then execfiles 'setup2.py' or 'setup3.py' accordingly. That should be relatively future-proof.

Personally, I'm not aware that anyone has successfully run setuptools on Python 3 anyway, so it's likely moot. (In truth, I'm not sure how much *distutils* has been tested on Python 3.)
