   should mention the practice of running 2to3 in setup.py for codebase compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.

I disagree with this on two grounds.  First 2to3 can be run by anybody needing it, not just from setup.py.  Second the recommended mechanism for writing new code is to use libraries such as six so that the one code base can run on 2 and 3.
