Well, this was a user poll - users shouldn't have to know or
express all of the dependencies for a given package that they use
- that's for us package developers to figure out.
To quote from the poll conclusions:
What does this poll mean?
Off-hand, nothing: nominating a package will not mean that its
authors now start porting it to Python 3.
However, we still hope that this still has some effect on the
Python community:
* Volunteers trying to help now see where help is most wanted
* Package authors now see that there really is (or is not)
demand for getting their package ported.
It's that last point that I was trying to highlight for us, as
matplotlib was the fourth most nominated package for py3k
support.
best,
