This is excellent, thanks for much for your hard work, Sanjeet, Anna
and all involved!

Python 3 support is highly experimental, we are still having problems with ctypes and libraries using them. However, you should be able to compile GRASS, launch GUI and run modules. I tested it on Ubuntu 16.04 with Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 (virtualenv), utf8 English locale, other platforms were not tested.

Could you please post a few lines how to properly do the testing with
virtualenv?
