Sure. You can simply change the directory in which distutils looks for your Python code: https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#listing-whole-packages However, in general, you shouldn't be doing this. It's usually easier (definitely in the long-term) to keep your sources cross-Py2.x/3.x compatible, maybe with the help of tools like "six" or "python-future", than to try to keep separate source trees in sync. http://python-future.org/ Stefan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
