(un)Fortunately I found one of its branch on github which announced is for Python3, but strangely it still use some v2.x words, for example, print. Its last update was at July 2009, maybe at the early age of v3? The one below which I can't figure out how to modify. Can someone show me the answer?

This looks like fairly advanced code.  It will be difficult to port to 
Python 3 *without* understanding some of the old history.  There seem to 
be forks on GitHub, including one with a pull request about Python 3 
made in the last few days: 
https://github.com/davidjamesca/ctypesgen/pull/58 .  I'd recommend 
working with others on this.
