pip3 install fails on Ubuntu 14.10

[dawsonlp]

Error in compile detailed below.
This is on an ubuntu 14.10 system, using python 3.4.2 (along with the python3-setuptools package and pip3). We have standardized on python 3, so this is an issue, but I was able to install with the ubuntu default python 2.7 instance and pip2)

On the same machine pip2 install pyhs2 works just fine. (default python 2.6)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Same here on Mac OSX Yosemite. I think there is something wrong with the 'sasl' in pip3.

Here is the same error on SO:

This is an issue with Python3 and the dependency SASL. SASL is currently coded for Python2. This is seen with the error 'PyString_AsString not being declared in the scope'.

A short term solution, if possible, would be to use Python2. Long term, either the SASL dependency will need to be updated for Python3 or pyhs2 will need to use a different dependency.
