It appears that you intend (from what's in debian/rules and control) to
support python3, but with the current packaging no python3 bindings are
provided. The attached patch provides a python3-hivex package that has
support for the default python3 (currently 3.2). Ideally it would support
all python3 versions, but I couldn't quite figure out why that wasn't
happening. In any case, the attached would be a good step forward.
