This issue is not "porting". The issues are: 1) the database drivers have to be ported first. web2py and Django depend more or less on the same drivers
2) web2py supports the Google App Engine and that is Python 2.5. If we move to 3.0 your applications will not run anymore on the GAE. Google has no plan to move to 3.0. 3) A framework is not just based on Python. It requires that you code in Python. If people "port" Django to Python 3.0. Your Django applications will no longer work. The same is true for web2py. The bottom line is that we could port web2py to 3.0 in one week (technically it does not take much, except for str vs unicode we are already compliant) but it would be pointless to lose driver support, GAE support and break compatibility of all the current apps. When GAE moves to 3.0 and the database drivers for all supported backends become available we will release something like web3py (TM). Since we are going to break language backward compatibility that will also be a good time to include other non-backward compatible changes. 2010-2011 are reasonable dates but just a guess. You should not measure progress of a framework from this deadline, but from the number of commits. What feature of 3.0 do you consider so important to constraint you?
