As noted in the Installation section, Python-3.X is just not supported.

I think there were reports (in the closed issues/PRs) that the module works with 3.X after 2to3, but I'm not sure, never tried that myself I'm afraid, don't use 3.X here at all (yet?).

[asmeurer]

Are there at least plans to support it? These days I consider anything that doesn't support Python 3 to be a dead project.

While it's nowhere near the effort of porting and maintaining a separate version in a language you don't care much about (e.g. COBOL), I'm afraid I still don't have any plans to do it, sorry.
