I'm sure the core language is more than ready for production use for a project starting from scratch which doesn't rely on any third party libraries. The next step up on the "ready" ladder would be a new project which will require third-party libraries. And that pretty much means any non-trivial project. I'm reasonably confident that most common use cases can now be covered by p3-ready third party modules. Perhaps there will be fewer choices of which implementation to go with for some things, but at this point, I'd be surprised if you'd get stuck because all the third party modules out there which do something you want are p2 only. The big problem continues to be the legacy projects. People made decisions years ago about what packages to use, and those decisions are hard to get away from. There is a lot of production code out there which still uses third-party packages that are effectively abandonware by now. But the code still runs, and there's little incentive to mess with it. Rather than migrate to p3, it's more likely those systems will continue to run for years to run on p2, until eventually somebody turns out the lights. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
