That, and the fact that your "ls" shows no derived files, means that the Makefile is choosing not to do anything, which a look at the Makefile says must be because shared_libpython isn't getting set. (As of 9.5 we've changed that to not fail silently, but in 9.3 this is what it does.)
There are two possibilities here: either your python3 installation does not include a shared-library version of libpython, or it does but the configure+Make process is failing to detect that. Probably should establish which of those it is before going further.

Ahh, I guess this answers the question then:
cd /data/sblab-home/berald01/applications/postgresql/postgresql-9.3.5/src/pl/plpython/ make

./configure --enable-shared \ --prefix=$HOME \ LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath=$HOME/lib" make make altinstall
# Re-configure postgres cd /Users/berald01/applications/postgresql/postgresql-9.3.5/ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-python PYTHON=~/bin/python3.5 make make install
