as I know, a few sagenb deps (notably twisted and flask if I remember
well) and some of sage's standard packages (for example pil) are a concern
in that matter, but I can't find the relevant ticket.

ticket listing what is holding back sage for the switch to python3 would
probably be worthy.
You have to dig deeper (on trac and sage-devel); there have been related
tickets and threads years ago, as the Python devs keep claiming ''"There
will be no further 2.x release after ..."'', and they do so since at least
2.4 IIRC.
(AFAIK the tickets mainly addressed removing [future] incompatibilities to
Python 3.x from the Sage library, but also mention which upstream packages
don't or won't [ever :-) ] work with Python 3.x, to that time of course.)
----
W.r.t. "holding back": There's ''no need'' to switch to Python 3.x ...
;-)
