Hi,
I checked out revision 6803 and the setup.py is missing the line (based 
on numpy's) for the 'def svn_version()' that is needed before line 82:

out = out.decode()

Let you know if or when I get any other non-weave errors.

$ python3 setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 82, in <module>
     FULLVERSION += svn_version()
   File "setup.py", line 68, in svn_version
     for line in out.split('\n'):
TypeError: Type str doesn't support the buffer API
