It's not a big deal now, so we can revisit this later. I posted it
here to think about this.

That being said, I can see many things that are broken, for example:

* we need to ship the same tarball for Python 3.2 and 3.3 (and keep
adding tarballs for higher version of Python) so that pip installs it

* that we cannot ship just one tarball for all Python versions

* that installing sympy (from git) into Python 3 takes a long time

* If you want to hack using Python 3 (that implies in git), you can't.
The only way is to hack in Python 2.7 and keep translating to Python
3. In fact the translation takes such a long time on my laptop, that I
don't use Python 3 with sympy and git. It's nice to use the released
tarball in Python 3 though, that works great.
