Speaking of vim, some work needs to be done along the port-to-Python-3 path.
I think vim still only builds against Python 2.  As part of this issue:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729924

I submitted a (probably out-of-date) patch to enable Python 3, but the Debian
maintainer has some valid concerns.  I'm not a vim user so I really don't know
how people expect vim+Python to work, and whether it's actually feasible to
selectively enable Python 2 or Python 3 support.  Ideally (from a Python 3
p.o.v.) it would be possible to ship vim and not require any Python 2 to be
installed by default.

If you're a vim and Python fan, please take a look at the above issue and any
help you can provide to move this forward would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

vim-khuno: live Python checking within vim via flakes (in testing)

[Edward Betts]

I've packaged a vim plugin that provides live code checking for Python 2 and 3
using pyflakes. Combined with code completion from vim-youcompleteme it makes
vim feel very IDE-like. I often find it pointing out mistakes in my Python
without needing to run the code. vim-khuno is available in testing and
unstable.

Screencast and documentation available here:

I thought this will be of interest to any vim user writing Python.
