Is Python 3 sucessful enough to make a switch worthwhile now?
The language/interpreter is just fine. The biggest problem is 3rd party
modules.
Indeed. Python 3 is a good language, and the CPython interpreter
is in good shape, but many key modules aren't ready for prime time
under Python 3 yet.
For teaching purposes, I'd teach Python 3. Most Python 3 code
will run in 2.6/2.7, more or less.
I have a Python 3.1 installed for fun, but I can't actually
do much useful with it until the MySQLdb module fully supports it.
