I would suggest to revert the change that prevents from building an sdist under Python 3.

I've followed the #398 and #399 issues, and both were addressed by PR #400

The only compatibility issue was for wheels built under Python 3 (with python setup.py bdist_wheel) and then used under Python 2, and that was only because wheels where considered universal, while they aren't, and that's now addressed by PR #400.

Building an sdist (.tar.gz/.zip format) and using it across Python 2/3 isn't an issue, as the setup.py file will be executed in each instance and will install only the right parts. Thus, running python setup.py sdist on python 3 is entirely valid, and preventing it will cause issue for users.

I suggest to revert it before releasing v0.17.1.
