Your import is attempting to import from your current directory, which
has the pre-2to3 version of the files packaged in the original
distribution.  Switch away and try again.

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?

That seems correct.  My familiarity with the python packaging tools is
limited, though.
