setup.py ImportError for compiler (Python 3)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

$python3.2 setup.py --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    import compiler, pydoc
ImportError: No module named compiler



Running the 2to3 script on the setup.py does nothing. This is probably because 
the compiler module was deprecated prior to the release of Python 3.

I'd recommend the compiler import be removed and that the distributon follow a 
more conventional approach for the long-description's content.
