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.
