Given the issue with (especially) WX, I think I will stick with Python 2.7 for the time being.

I'll consider that if and when I find any differences between Python 2.7 and 3.* that become pressing issues for me. Otherwise, I suspect that any request for a backport from me will only distract from more useful work for a wider range of users. -- It is a pity that (particulaly) wxPython has missed the Wheezy revision window. When I looked at the various GUIs available in Python, I thought that wxPython was the one with the best combination of advanced facilities and ease of use. Thanks again for the quick and useful responses.
