Same problem here on Rri 3

[warchildmd]

The snowboy.so in this repo is for Python 2.x only.

Same problem here, any solution for this error? I'm using Raspberry Pi 3, with virtual environment for Python 3

[Andy1314Chen]

sad! I have the same problem...
python3 , raspberry pi3

I don't quite understand this.
The guide in the readme clearly shows the way to create python virtual envs for both python 2.7 and 3.
And shows how to rename the _snowboydetect.so, but the the final script to run, doesn't support python 3? That's a bit odd :(

#9 added snowboy for Py3. Thanks to @Shaxine

[Shaxine]

@Moulde Since the last commit python 3 is supported. This issue was created before the python 3 support.

@warchildmd I think this issue should be marked as solved. As is causing some confusion.

[Moulde]

Ah yes suddenly it worked :) Thanks Shaxine
