Have you found any of the third-party Django extensions to be catching up? I'm starting a new project and would love to just start with Python3, but there are a few packages I depend on: South, lxml, pytz, simplejson, requests, django-compressor, gunicorn, jinja2, twisted, txAMQP, and django-rest-framework (amongst some other utilities actually used for development). It would sure be great to have a list of django sub-projects and their Python3 status. Regardless, even if we start with Python2.7 and bump up to 3.3 in a few months, this is a great step!

Off the top of my head: lxml, pytz, simplejson (as json in the stdlib), requests and jinja2 work already. Twisted has someone working on Python 3 support. The others I don't know about.

Of your list: * South doesn't have Py3 support in core, but there's a fork that does and seems to work perfectly: https://bitbucket.org/aaugustin/south-python3 https://bitbucket.org/aaugustin/south-python3 * lxml as of v3 seems to have py3 support (I haven't tried it, but looks like it does). * simplejson is now in the standard library as "json", so yes there. * requests works, since v0.10 (about a year ago). * django-compressor is not ported; however, django-pipeline does run on Python 3 and is basically -compressor's successor. It works great. * gunicorn works on py3 (as does uwsgi and mod_wsgi, btw.) * jinja2 hasn't been ported yet. * twisted is actively being ported right now, and has gotten to the point of "kinda working". You can follow along at http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/Python-3.x http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/milestone/Python-3.x and http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3 http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3. * txAMQP probably can't get ported until twisted does. * django-rest-framework has Python 3 support, I think it's fairly recent, but it works well. This list is about typical of what I've found doing Django/Py3 work: many things are ported, a bunch more have good alternatives, and a few things are still missing.
