Awesome, thanks much.

This is a good idea and could help us get a sense of if people are
using Python 3 yet.

Whoops. Should we freshen up the tarballs with this or wait until
the next release?

For your manifest fix, we should add do2to3.py to the MANIFEST.in
instead of checking in the MANIFEST directly, since the MANIFEST is
generated during building the release.
