No, it will install it quite correctly.  What it won't know is that some 
of the code is valid in Python 2 but invalid in Python 3.  An example I 
discovered 30 minutes ago.

raise "Not Valid DB Type"

is perfectly valid in Python 2.  In Python 3 it's so illegal the 2to3 
conversion tool can't cope with it :(
