You mean Twisted support, because library support is at the point where there are fewer actively maintained packages not yet ported than those which are. Of course if your Python experience is hyper-focused to one framework that isn't ported yet, it will certainly seem like a lot, and you guys

This anti-Py3 rhetoric is damaging to the community and needs to stop. We're moving forward toward Python 3.2 and beyond, complaining about it only saps valuable developer time (including your own) from getting these libraries you need ported faster. No, it's not damaging. Critical
