This allowed 2to3 to also port the various setup*.py files and numpy.distutils, and implementing it this way required the minimum amount of work and understanding of distutils -- you need to force it to proceed with the build using the set of output files from 2to3. > I would like to make a proper numpy.distutils command for it, so that it > can be more finely controlled (in particular, using the -j option).

If the aim is in making the 2to3 processing reusable, I'd rather simply move tools/py3tool.py under numpy.distutils (+ perhaps do some cleanups), and otherwise keep it completely separate from distutils. It could be nice to have the 2to3 conversion parallelizable, but there are probably simple ways to do it without mixing distutils in. But if you think this is really worth doing, go ahead.
