Comment (by bgamari):

 I'm actually quite confused. It looks like the testsuite driver will not
 run with python3.
 {{{
 *** WARNING: running testsuite using Python 3.
 *** Python 3 support is experimental. See Trac #9184.
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "../driver/runtests.py", line 216, in <module>
     for line in pkginfo.split('\n'):
 TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

 }}}
