My recommended way of trying to figure out about Python 3 compatibility would be to go to http://pypi.python.org and type in the name of the module you're interested in to the search box in the top-right corner. >From the results page, go to the package's home page and there should be details there. For Pyrex, it says the last release was 0.9.4.1 but going to the package's home page, it says the last release was 0.9.9 on 2010-04-12. I thought that would have pre-dated the release of Python 3, but in fact it doesn't, with Python 3.0.1 being released on 2009-02-13. That all said, it looks like Pyrex is unmaintained, there haven't been any releases since 2010-04-12, and no posts to the mailing list since April 2012. What is it that you were building that requires that package?
