Unfortunately numexpr doesn't work with Python 3.
Probably you should post on the NumExpr mailing list [1] a request for
Python 3 support.

FYI I started a fork [2] to implement Python 3 support for numexpr but
it is still incomplete.

If you are interested in having numexpr with Python 3 then maybe you
would like to contribute some code :)
