Hi ynak, we're planning on supporting py3 in the core engine with the v2 codebase. As for modules, we're still working on the best possible solution there, since we do need to continue supporting python 2.4 for the foreseeable future.

Why would you need to support Python 2.4? Haven't that been dead for for like 10 years?
There are still a lot of RHEL/CentOS 5 users out there, which run python 2.4. While py3 is moving forward, the number of users stuck on 2.4 is still considerably larger, and we will continue to support that until such a time as it's no longer the case. In the meantime, we are exploring options so that we can help those on newer distributions work by default in the same way.
Thank you for the reply. I'm looking forward to it.
