I'm sorry you feel that way, as I've been *trying* to help. I just still don't get what the problem is. If I were porting setuptools to Python 3, I would *want* it to be circular, even if I had to hack on it a little atfirst. So I have a hard time understanding why you don't.But it CAN NOT be circular under Python 3.
I don't understand why not, doing it may be not entirely trivial but it should be possible with some trickery. As PJE noted one way to do this is to explicitly convert setuptools to python 3.x syntax before actually running setup.py (e.g. his setup3.py file). With some care this could even be done in setup.py itself.
