Works perfectly for building the modules.

Unfortunately the test does not work for Python3.  If I try inside
pbuilder chroot:

root:/build/python-freecontact-1.1# PYTHONPATH=.pybuild/cpython3_3.6_freecontact/build/ python3.6 test/test01.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/test01.py", line 87, in <module>
    test_main()
  File "test/test01.py", line 83, in test_main
    test_support.run_unittest(MyTestCase1
AttributeError: module 'test.test_support' has no attribute 'run_unittest'


This also happens if I build without testing and after installing
the python3-freecontact package:


/python-freecontact(master) $ python3 test/test01.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/test01.py", line 87, in <module>
    test_main()
  File "test/test01.py", line 83, in test_main
    test_support.run_unittest(MyTestCase1
AttributeError: module 'test.test_support' has no attribute 'run_unittest'


Any clue how to work around this?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
