Nope, that didn't work.

The source code link that Kushal posted is dated December 19, 2012.  Since that was several months ago, I double-checked the source code of setup.py in the 1.2alpha1 package that I downloaded.  It would appear to perform the same check of sys.version_info that was shown on the Google Code page.

To see how that check actually runs, I saved a copy of setup.py as setup2.py, adding diagnostic calls to print() as shown in the code block below:

=======================================

if sys.version_info >= (3,):
    # Automatically run 2to3 when using Python 3
    print("Python version is 3.0 or later.") # I added this
    if _have_setuptools:
        print("Have setuptools.") # I added this
        setup_info["use_2to3"] = True
    else:
        print("Do not have setuptools.") # I added this
        from distutils.command.build_py import build_py_2to3
        setup_info["cmdclass"] = {"build_py" : build_py_2to3}

=======================================

Here's the output:

=======================================

john at john:~/Desktop/pyglet-1.2alpha1$ sudo python3 setup2.py install

Python version is 3.0 or later.
Do not have setuptools.

So, I don't know much yet about this _have_setuptools flag.  I don't know whether it has to be True, instead of False, in order for 2to3 to work properly.  I get the impression from the code that 2to3 should run regardless of the _have_setuptools flag, it is just that the task is accomplished in two different ways?
