[SciPy-Dev] Advice on py3 debugging

[Matthew Brett]

Hi,

I think this one's for Pauli.

I am in the process of trying to make sure that my matlab io changes
work on python 3.

For python2 I am used to:

linking <installed_packages>/scipy/io/matlab to the repository working
tree scipy/scipy/io/matlab
building the scipy/io/matlab directory inplace with 'python setup.py
build_ext --inplace'

Of course I now realize that's not going to work because of the python
2to3 step.  Do you have any advice on how to avoid a full reinstall
for testing individual packages in scipy?

Thanks a lot,

Matthew
