Comment (by olly):

 As of r17516, the python3 tests all pass except for a segfault in
 pythontest.py when it runs under threads (all the testcases are run
 without threads and pass, and then again with threads and we get this
 failure).

 To do:

  * Reject str from unserialise methods
  * Provide __version__
  * Return str for version_string()
  * Check and update examples
  * Check and update docs
  * Decide on minimum supported version - I'm tempted to say 3.2,
 unless/until anyone cares enough to test with 3.1 and provide any patches
 required to make it work.  Debian stable has 3.2, and barry suggested >=
 3.2 above (and that was 16 months ago).
