Of course it would be important to know which version of LilyPond you
are using.

I don't see an overwhelming amount of Python3 related stuff in our issue
tracker, but there is at least
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3494> which is
about a failure of "make website", and that should certainly exercise
lilypond-book.  That one was fixed in 2.17.25.

So which version of LilyPond are you using?
