Thanks for your question.

This branch uses GTK3, but still with Python 2. It looks like you are using Python 3 on your system. While it is desirable to port Genesis to Python 3 in the foreseeable future, I am not yet working on it. Patches welcome!

I created a bug report for it, so we can keep track of the progress there.

Thanks Frederik,
I have python-2.7 and python-3.2 installed, after switching to python-2.7 as default I could also install genesis-sync-0.7.1.
