Hi Ryan RPython has no plans to move to python3. There are no dependencies that we can't vendor that will become a problem. We expect Python2 to be available (and pypy stepping in if necessary) for a long time in the future.
The reason is very prosaic - it's a lot of work for absolutely no reward. It has nothing to do with a vision and opinions etc. The only win we would have is that we can then drop support for having Python 2 interpreter. But we're not going to do that! Vast majority of PyPy users use Python 2 and it might stay that way for quite some time.
