Ah .. NO! I can assure you that we are still stuck with Python 2.x (2.7 to be more precise). I am not too sure the others would have moved either.

There is movement, though - lots of the core stuff is already ported to Python 3, and once matplotlib 1.2 comes out (any day now), it's quite feasible to do serious work with Python 3.

Can you list the reasons?

I deal with a lot of text data so I use NLTK for Natural Language Processing. In addition, maptplot lib for publication quality figures and graphs. I don't really have a motivation to shift to Python 3.
