Yes. I tested kmod with Python 3 outside of Buildroot and it works fine. However, with Buildroot there is a problem because Buildroot generates a Python 3 installation that does not follow PEP 3147 "PYC Repository Directories". This means that *.py[co] files are not installed in __pycache__ directories and this makes python-kmod fail. But this is problem with Buildroot's Python 3 installation. There is no issue with Kmod here.
