* Issue #283: Reenable scanning of *.pyc / *.pyo files on Python 3.3.
* Issue #299: The develop command didn't work on Python 3, when using 2to3,
as the egg link would go to the Python 2 source. Linking to the 2to3'd code
in build/lib makes it work, although you will have to rebuild the module
before testing it.

thereby making it available on ``sys.path`` for all programs using that Python
installation.
If you have enabled the ``use_2to3`` flag, then of course the ``.egg-link``
will not link directly to your source code when run under Python 3, since
that source code would be made for Python 2 and not work under Python 3.
Instead the ``setup.py develop`` will build Python 3 code under the ``build``
directory, and link there. This means that after doing code changes you will
have to run ``setup.py build`` before these changes are picked up by your
Python 3 installation.
In addition, the ``develop`` command creates wrapper scripts in the target
script directory that will run your in-development scripts after ensuring that
all your ``install_requires`` packages are available on ``sys.path``.
