At my workplace it's mostly web apps, wxPython apps, scientific
calculation, TRAC, and we're considering Plone.  So I think we'll wait
until Pylons and wxPython have made the switch, and then convert our
stuff.

Pylons has acknowledged the issue but has not set any schedule for
conversion.  Both Pylons 1.0 and Python 3.0 are supposed to be
released in late summer.  Python 1.0 will drop the
backward-compatibility cruft that accumulated as it evolved, so
post-1.0 will be the best time to do the conversion.

Supposedly it will do the tedious work but you'll still have to review
the code afterward for untypical or unusually dynamic cases that it
may not catch.  There will be a checklist of things to look for.
Also, if you have a comprehensive test suite, you can just run it and
see if it passes.

I haven't heard anything about this.
