Thank you for that sharp observation, Kushal!  (And I hope that more packages besides pyglet are configured this way -- to automatically run 2to3, when you install on Python 3.)

How strange that I remember typing "sudo python setup.py install".  Because on my Ubuntu 13.04 system, that would invoke Python 2.7, which is an essential part of the OS.  Nevertheless, I was able to import pyglet after invoking "python3" from the shell.  I didn't think that installed modules could be shared between multiple Python versions.

I'll try again from scratch, and see whether that clears up my problems.
