Django-tables2 fails to install in Python3 because of the following code from line 7 of setup.py in the traceback:
version = re.search('__version__ = "(.+?)"', f.read()).group(1)
This should work if the search pattern was a bytes object. A byte literal can be created by simply pre-pending the string literal with a b like the following:
version = re.search(b'__version__ = "(.+?)"', f.read()).group(1)
This is why Python is throwing a TypeError with the message "Can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object". The file contents are being read in as bytes.
I don't think RapidSMS currently supports Python3 yet based on its list of environments that are tested. This can be seen in the tox environments list of the project seen here, in which only Python 2.6 and 2.7 are listed: https://github.com/rapidsms/rapidsms/blob/develop/tox.ini#L2
To solve the immediate problem, you'll want to install RapidSMS in a virtual environment with Python 2.6 or 2.7. The documentation for RapidSMS describes virtual environment setup briefly here: http://www.rapidsms.org/en/develop/topics/virtualenv.html
You'll want to install Python 2.6 or 2.7 on your system and specify which Python for the virtualenv to use, using the -p or --python argument. The following is taken from the RapidSMS docs linked above, but ammended to specify using Python 2.7:
mkvirtualenv --distribute --no-site-packages rapidsms --python=python2.7
