Spot checking the source packages in the archive currently, it looks like Thomas already has most of these done. By way of background there, a coordinated effort has been underway for the last several years to get all OpenStack software working with recent Python 3 interpreters. The slowest part of that work involved reaching out to the upstreams of (hundreds of) dependencies not maintained within the OpenStack community and either helping them get working Py3K support, adopting defunct libraries so OpenStack contributors could fix them directly, or in some cases abandoning/replacing dependencies with better-maintained alternatives. This really is an ecosystem-wide effort, as complex Python software doesn't generally run in isolation. I expect the story for other large Python-based applications is very similar to this. Most OpenStack services and libraries are integration-tested upstream to work under Python 3.5 today, but there are still many Python-2.7-only testsuites for them (especially unit testing and some functional tests) which need heavy refitting before the community feels its Py3K support efforts are truly complete. -- Jeremy Stanley
