Yes, this should be the correct way to pass an option directly to Mercurial's setup.py. > Now the crazy effect is: > > Installing collected packages: mercurial > Running setup.py install for mercurial > --c2to3 is only compatible with python3. > > Pretty confusing... ;-) Indeed. You did this within a Python 3 virtualenv? I don't know how it is possible that Mercurial's setup.py is being executed with Python 2, if you "pip install" it from within a Python 3 virtualenv. You could make your own modified Mercurial tarball with a "print sys.executable" in setup.py and then try to "pip install" that tarball and see what it says? > Is this the right place to ask this question? Yes. Carl
