Since I've been building 3.0 for a while now I looked at the script.
build-install.py seems to have been half converted to py 3.0. Going full 3.0 was not hard but then there is the problem of the imports.
Python 3.0 does not have MacOS or Carbon modules.
Seems that there are two ways to go.
Put back the Carbon and MacOS modules into 3.0. Use Python 2 to build the python 3 package.
As far as I can tell the Carbon and MacOS modules are _only_ used in the setIcon() function, which is used to give pretty icon to the python folder. Perhaps it might be better to have a fully Python 3 build system and loose the prettiness for the time being.

-1. The script exists to make it as easy as possible to build the installer. Converting it to python 3 makes that task harder.
BTW. Until a couple of days ago the script had no chance of working at all because the Mac-specific Makefiles were broken.
