I wish I understood Python packaging better so I could tell Python not to compile/install certain .py files.  In practice python 2 and 3 are going to be installed in different places so there isn't much point in deploying both files all the time.  I'll see if I can figure out how to do this.

Thanks for identifying the bug I introduced.
