I love Python 3, but the main reasons I haven't converted everything over is because half of the libraries I use only work with 2. Creating an entire new version after lots of people already built their entire projects on the previous version, with no real backward compatibility, reminds me of the Visual Basic days of Microsoft. How can you possibly expect acceptance after 5 years?

Out of interest, what are you relying on that's not available? There were various big missing pieces I remember (database drivers, then web frameworks, then scipy). The last big one remaining is twisted. (and fortunately there are not that many big twisted applications around) But otherwise, I haven't run into any py3 issues lately.
