I would love to move to Python 3 as I have no technical dependencies. The only reason I'm still writing my code and open-source library in Python 2 is the ecosystem of my clients. Even if that was technically possible to migrate to Python 3, it might not viable business-wise. It would be considered as unnecessary expense for something that "just works".

I guess we just need to reach some adoption tipping point or end of support of Python 2. Whichever comes first.

I kind of get the sense that a lot of the recent belly aching is because people can smell the adoption tipping point coming.

I thought about this, as someone with reasons to prefer Python2. But then I quit worrying. Python2 isn't going anywhere, for starters. But more to the point, if lots of people move to Python3, some of them will share my issues. They'll make noise, push for resolution, offer solutions, etc. Widespread adoption makes it more likely that my concerns will be addressed.
