If 2to3 is being run you'll get quite a lot of fairly obvious output to that effect. So it sounds like it's not. A quick look at bdist_egg seems to indicate that it never runs the build_py step, which is what runs 2to3. So this may be a bug. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
