It had fixed the compilation, but on closer inspection the
buildslaves were not actually testing the extension code
on Python 3. With some manual testing on Linux I found
the compiled files were not getting installed - this fixed it:

That then exposed a trivial Python 3 incompatibility, fixed:

Just three left now: Bio.cpairwise2, Bio.trie and
Bio.Nexus.cnexus - it looks like we will shortly be a
lot closer to doing a Biopython release on Python 3.
