There was a link to a Microsoft person in the top right of your page. I mistook it for the author link. Edited post to remove that.

You are right that the same tools work for python 2. However, I mentioned tools there which allow python to do type checking, and type inference because they can be done now. See here on how to use them: http://renesd.blogspot.de/2014/05/statically-checking-python...

You're right in that case where you use several libraries that aren't ported. However, there's 4799 packages registered on pypi as supporting python 3, and most of the popular ones are ported. Considering that most libraries are ported, porting small scripts should be easy most of the time. I don't know if you actually ported any code, but it's often trivial.

4799 out of 44198 are python3? just a few more to go.
Not sure if you're just trolling, but the majority of the rest are probably close to being abandonware.
