cython issues with Python3 about arctic HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, I've tried removing all the cython generated code and the shared object and recompiling it all (since I have been going back and forth between 2.7 and 3.4).

from arctic.

the objdump of the shared lib does show the symbol in the procedure linkage table so I'm not sure what the issue is. Perhaps its problem linking in the correct libraries?

The commands that build and link the SO are:

gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/home/bryant/anaconda2/envs/arctic/include/python3.4m -c src/_compress.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/_compress.o -fopenmp

and

gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/home/bryant/anaconda2/envs/arctic/include/python3.4m -c src/lz4.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/lz4.o -fopenmp

and

gcc -pthread -shared -L/home/bryant/anaconda2/envs/arctic/lib -Wl,-rpath=/home/bryant/anaconda2/envs/arctic/lib,--no-as-needed build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/_compress.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/lz4.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/src/lz4hc.o -L/home/bryant/anaconda2/envs/arctic/lib -lpython3.4m -o /home/bryant/arctic/arctic/_compress.cpython-34m.so -fopenmp

Its also worth nothing that the compilation of the compress C file did generate this:
src/_compress.c: In function ‘__pyx_f_6arctic_9_compress_to_cstring_array’:
src/_compress.c:1838:17: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘PyString_AsString’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
__pyx_t_4 = PyString_AsString(__pyx_t_3); if (unlikely(__pyx_t_4 == NULL)) {__pyx_filename = __pyx_f[0]; __pyx_lineno = 48; __pyx_clineno = LINE

I actually figured it out. Another case of the string type in Python3 being replaced with the unicode string in Python3. This resulted in a lot of changes in the C-API. I'll leave this open until I have the pull request for Python3 support ready just in case someone else hits this.
