Dear Sir/Madam:

History:

I manage to load on Python3 on my BBB Rev. 'C' (running Debian) with:
#  apt-get update
# apt-get install python3

I then had to install pip via 'get-pip.py' (https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html)

Problem:
But now when I want to install the 'Adafruit_BBIO' module via these steps:
# apt-get install python-smbus <== Went Ok

# pip3 install Adafruit_BBIO
I get the following error:
{
Collecting Adafruit-BBIO
  Downloading Adafruit_BBIO-0.0.20.tar.gz
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 20, in <module
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 20, in <module

    ----------------------------------------
    Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-n40i9h/Adafruit-BBIO

}


Help:

What must I do so that I can achieve my goal (Python3 using the GPIO)?


Regards
COG

I don't think that the Adafruit_BBIO library supports Python3 right now.  I know for certain that stock python-smbus does not support Python3, though some google searching on the topic will find you some tutorials on how to hack it to work.
