Please be aware that a port will take quite some time due to change PyQt4 APIs as well. I would recommend to install Python2 in parallel to Python3 which should work quite well. Once the new PyQt4 API has matured a little bit and Python3 is more widely used, I will start this task. Maybe you can support this once it started.
