What I'm doing is checking out distribute, then trying to install it into a temporary directory. However, when I do this, I seem to be getting the files in python 2 form, *not* having been converted using 2to3. The resulting build is therefore broken.
Can anyone suggest what might be going on here? I've been looking at this for hours now, and I'm no nearer to working out what is going on :-( I'm running on Windows 7, 64-bit, using Python 3.3 in Powershell. The same happens in cmd.exe and Python 3.2. There are NO packages installed in my Python installation, it's a straight install from the python.org installer.
