I'm not familiar with distutils, really, so you could be right about what it is important to test. I was commenting based on the code snippet presented, which just deciding which "build" object to use. If buildpy2to3 can be imported by python2 and subsequently screws up the build, then yes the logic is incorrect.

That can’t happen. The *_2to3 classes (don’t forget build_scripts_2to3) only exist in 3.x and work with a version check or an import with fallback. There is no cross-version-build at all in distutils.
