The only general advice I can think of is to make sure
you're using Py_ssize_t where appropriate.

Can you narrow down where the problem is occurring, and
post some code?

Yes, there are a lot of changes, mostly concerned with
the str/bytes split.

I've made no attempt to get Pyrex to work with Py3 yet,
but Cython reportedly does, so you may need to use that
instead.
