setup.py

I have a python library. Unfortunately I have not updated it to work with python 3 yet. in its setup.py, I added install_requires=['python<3'], My intent was to not allow this package to be installed / used under python 3, because I know it doesn't (yet) work. I don't think this is the right way to do it, because pip then tries to download and install python 2.7.3 (which is already the installed version!).

I understand that setup.py uses the same CFLAGS that were used to build python. I have a single C extension of ours that is segfaulting. I need to build it without -O2 because -O2 is optimizing out some values and code so that the core files are not sufficient to pin down the problem.

I'm having troubles with installing packages in Python 3. I have always installed packages with setup.py install . But now, when I try to install the ansicolors package I get: importerror "No Module named Setuptools" I have no idea what to do because I didn't have setuptools installed in the past. Still, I was able to install many packages with setup.py install without setuptools. Why should I get setuptools now?
