Hi,

When running 2to3 from a setup.py script, does it run on the whole codebase or only files that are found newer by the make-like timestamp-based dependency system? If it’s the former, as some messages seem to show (sorry no time to test right now), ISTM we can fix distutils to do the latter (unless there are bugs due to import rewriting to use explicit relative imports when there are extension modules—blergh).

It would be better to teach 2to3 to do it by itself. Not everybody runs 2to3 through a setup.py script.

Regards

Antoine.
