yes, you can make the Hamlib binding for Python 3, but (as I
know) only one version supported in same (compile) time.
I'll see that how can we support the multiple versions.
But now, here is the short intro, how can you build the binding
for Python3.
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ autoreconf --install
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ ./configure --with-python-binding
...
...
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ make
...
...
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ sudo make install
...
...
airween@vm:~/hamlib$ cd bindings
airween@vm:~/hamlib/bindings$ echo $LANG
hu_HU.UTF-8
airween@vm:~/hamlib/bindings$ echo $LC_ALL
C
airween@vm:~/hamlib/bindings$ export LC_ALL=hu_HU.UTF-8
airween@vm:~/hamlib/bindings$ export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
airween@vm:~/hamlib/bindings$ python3 py3test.py

Note, that the locale/lang environment settings need only,
because my Python3 can't print the "degree" character (which is a
unicode char) whithout that. May be you don't need that.
I've made a new version of pytest.py for Python3, you can grab it
from my Github repo:
https://github.com/airween/hamlib/blob/py3/bindings/py3test.py
Here is the full branch which is came from the Nate's master:

Hope this helps,
