Trying to install pgmagick with python 3

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to get pgmagick to work with Python 3.
First thing I had to do was linking to the Python 3 boost libraries, by changing lines 83 and following on setup.py from
if _version >= (3, ):
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-py%s%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-mt-py%s%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
#gentoo appends the python version numbers to the boost_python libraries
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-%s.%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-mt")
to
if _version >= (3, ):
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-py%s%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
# ArchLinux uses boost_python3
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python%s" % (_version[0]))
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-mt-py%s%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
#gentoo appends the python version numbers to the boost_python libraries
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-%s.%s" % (_version[0], _version[1]))
boost_lib_target_files.append("boost_python-mt")
Now, when I launch setup.py, I get the following error:
$ sudo python setup.py install
include header path: /usr/include/GraphicsMagick/
Found boost lib: /usr/lib64/libboost_python3
boost lib: boost_python3
library path: /usr/lib64/libGraphicsMagick++
Libraries: ['boost_python3', 'GraphicsMagick++']
GraphicsMagick version: 1.3.19
running install

I am quite new to building Python packages, so I'm not sure about what is going wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
