3.4rc2 and pip on windows

[Mark Lawrence]

Trying to install pyttsx, it doesn't strike me as very clever that, as 
seen below, you get "Successfully installed pyttsx" despite the syntax 
errors and you can't actually do an import.

c:\Users\Mark\CrossCode>c:\Python34\Scripts\pip3.4.exe install pyttsx
Downloading/unpacking pyttsx
   Downloading pyttsx-1.1.tar.gz

[other syntax errors snipped]

 >>> import pyttsx
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pyttsx\__init__.py", line 18, in

     from engine import Engine

I've looked at pyttsx in my 3.3 site-packages and it appears that I've 
manually run 2to3.  Is this something that could be done automatically 
by pip?  Your thoughts please, ladies and gentlemen.
