Possible to get Bloomberg API into Python 3?

Is there a version of blpapi for python 3? If not, has anyone successfully modified the existing SDK to make it work (or do you just start from scratch and write an interface to the C++ version?).

Some background: The existing Bloomberg API (free to the public, but needs to be downloaded from the Bloomberg website) facilitates queries of Bloomberg's database and market data feeds from python. The official Bloomberg version seems to only work for <= 2.7.

Bloomberg Server API (SAPI) delivers a powerful complement to the Bloomberg Terminal. SAPI allows you to consume Bloomberg's unique real-time market, historical, and key reference data, as well as calculation engine capabilities when using proprietary and third-party applications.
