I was just looking over the README (literally two minutes ago, your
message came in as I was wording up a reply), and Python 3 support
does seem to be a bit of a hole in the support.

To what extent does Cython make this easier? The biggest barrier I
would expect to see is the bytes/text distinction, where a default
quoted string has different meaning in the two versions - but like
with performance guessing, this is much more likely to be wrong than
right.

Another, but much smaller, hole in the support would be installation
via pip. I'd recommend getting the package listed on PyPI and then
testing some pip installations on different platforms - chances are
that's going to be the best way to do the builds.

All the best!
