Hi Thomas, I am happy to see that we port to python3 for various reasons, that should be obvious to everyone.
I have been testing your branch a bit on windows, just to get an overview of what changes might be needed. So far I think I made it work as you have on linux. A lite installer is available on [link will disappear eventually] http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/windows/testing/patched/kicad-patched-88-review-8244-gef7a2fcc3-x86_64.exe The build is of course with wxpython disabled, as it is my understanding that it does not support python3, and the next step is to migrate to wx phoenix which should indeed support python3. I could start the python.exe inside the kicad/bin dir and import pcbnew without errors. I did not try to run any standalone scripts. I did try a couple of footprint wizards in the footprint editor, and some of them seemingly worked. But the BARCODE USS-39 errors. It looks like it needs to be updated to py3k syntax.
