Python 3 support.

Hi there. I was hoping to use this module but have not been able to get it to install under Python 3. Dipping in to the *.c is beyond me but I thought I'd offer this to get the ball rolling. It got me much further along.

Also. Only as the first failure I saw was pyspidev I notice that there is this project that seems to have begun work on Python 3 support.

That's something I haven't felt very inspired to do, I'm still on 2.7 for everything myself. I have no plans of leaving 2.7 for PyBBIO, especially since it's the version that ships with the BeagleBone, but seeing as there does seem to be some interest I wouldn't be against having a Python 3 version in a separate branch or something. Anyone up for maintaining it? :D

@alexanderhiam The changes here should work with the same codebase across Python2 and Python3. @queenvictoria Have you tested these changes?

It looks like serbus does not work on Python3 yet.

Is it possible to work on PyBBIO as my upcoming GSoC project? can you be my mentor on this? if its possible I love to work on this
