It's been a very long time (one year), but I have sent a patch series
that bumps Python 2.x and 3.x to their latest version, and adds the
possibility of building Python external modules with Python 3.

If you have some time, I would definitely be interested by receiving
comments, and testing reports. For details, see:

The code is available at:

Thanks!
