Comment (by heartsucker):

 It is non-trivial to port this to python3. The C++ code needs to be ported
 too, and it seems like this is going to lead to splitting modules or a
 significant amount of ifdef's. I have spent several hours on this and
 don't feel like this is something we should keep doing, nor do I even
 trust myself to write the bindings correctly and safely. Additionally it
 seems like a significant portion of the code is ~7 years old. We should be
 using a more modern, better maintained library.
