As I said I built PyQt with Python2 because it's the default in Sailfish today. If Sailfish-1.0 is about to switch to Python3 then I will also do that, simple as that. But today Python2 is the default and that's why I built PyQt with 2 and not 3. Python 2 and 3 can happily live side by side but someone has to make the packages and it's not gonna be me so that's why I use what's already available. The same goes for Gstreamer, I would rather use 1.x but 0.10 is the default in Sailfish today and that's what I'm using too.
