And for a detailed look at the current status, check the python
regression test wiki page on HaikuPorts:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/wiki/PythonRegressionTests
Many of the failing tests have already been reported as trac tickets for Haiku.
Since you're using scons you might be interested in the scons build:

We've only taken limited looks at Python3.x so far, focusing on the
2.6.x branch for now. If you'd like to help out, feel free to join
the HaikuPorts mailing list and we can discuss things there. Note
that we keep patches for Python in svn at HaikuPorts to add support
for Haiku, as they are no longer accepting patches upstream on the 2.x
branch.
