Hi folks,
One of the goals of this Ubuntu development cycle is to move to python 3, for 
most, if not all python related packages on the main Ubuntu images. Of course, 
brltty's python bindings are affected. I've bene looking into whether pyrex has 
been updated for python 3, and so far it has not.

I did stumble over cython, which is at least somewhat source compatible with 
pyrex, and in fact has a lot more functionality. I haven't yet tried building 
any of brltty's pyrex code with cython yet, so I don't know how much work is 
required to change to cython, but since cython is much more maintained, and 
supports python 3, I think its worth discussing the move to cython.

I'll do some further digging and testing, and see whether much if any, work is 
needed to port to cython.

Thoughts welcome.

Luke
