Indeed, the Python build system will almost always let you "build" a
package, even if it is not Python 3 ready.

Your only solace here is to run a proper migration to Python 3 (which
could be just a matter of running 2to3) and use the test suite (which
hopefully covers enough of the code base) to validate it.
