When I tried to compile for Python 3 - I had many errors about not
finding Python3 functions. I would image that was probably due to the
fact that the include paths weren't correct. However, at that time I
had lost interest.

Please feel free to add support for Python 3 for py-smbus (i2c-tools).
Will be sure to review and test it.

Thanks,
