Unable to build (functional) Python3 bindings

[protogeezer]

Per Bryan Parsons suggestion for taking a quick and dirty shot with generating Python3 bindings, I created a CustomPythonSetup.cmake file pointing to my local anaconda 3.6 installation, then built (on OS X 10.12.4) with the command:

et-imac-retina:gpstk-2.9 sjbespa$ sudo ./build.sh -b/Users/sjbespa/work/gpstk/gpstk-2.9-build3 -j8 -eu -P/Users/sjbespa/anaconda/bin/python 

The resulting bindings don't seem to export any symbols, although the module is about the right size (vis-a-vis the python2 bindings): Last login: Wed Apr 12 09:25:28 on ttys004

et-imac-retina:~ sjbespa$ python
Python 3.6.0 |Anaconda 4.3.1 (x86_64)| (default, Dec 23 2016, 13:19:00)

['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']
>>> gpstk.__path__
['/Users/sjbespa/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gpstk']

Any ideas on how to attack the problem would be greatly appreciated... I see elsewhere on the GPSTK website that the current bindings were conceived "with an eye towards python 2." It would help to understand what that comment means.

You should use python 2 (version >= 2.7.2) instead of python 3

ARL will release a new version of GPSTk later this summer with udpated Python bindings.
