What's keeping us from doing so is the host of third-party modules and tools we depend on that don't yet support 3.x. Off the top of my head (it's possible some of these already have support): django (I understand it's been done, if not yet officially supported) pymongo mongoengine tornado pybeanstalk dateutils requests lxml blinker gunicorn I'm sure I've missed a few It's getting to the point where any open-source python project needs to either jump on the 3.x bandwagon or get consigned to obscurity. I'm guessing that's going to start happening in a big way in 2012. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
