But if the current party line in python-dev that goes something like "if you don't want to port to Python 3, you don't have to" is to be credible, then ongoing maintainers who choose not to port to Python 3 should not be subject to pressure exhibited by sites like the "wall of shame".
I am a sometimes developer who has no idea what site you are talking about. But given that it exists and gets way too much attention, I can the usefulness of the proposal, which seemed senseless until I read this post.
There is a fairly short list of the best and most widely used library packages that I *hope* will either get ported or replaced by a new Py 3 package. Basically, enough so that 'don't use Python 3 because it lacks 3rd-party libraries' can be put to rest. But I expect that substantial portions of the stuff on PyPI never will be.
