I wanted to do that but the tokenizer module is quite ugly to customize
in order to allow "u" prefixes to strings which is why I postponed that.
 It would work similar to how 2to3 is invoked however.

In case this PEP gets approved I will refactor the tokenize module while
adding support for "u" prefixes and use that as the basis for a
installation hook for older Python 3 versions.
