I wanted to add to this discussion as well. I think that developing with python 2.7 and web2py has been fine, however I have been really concerned as my application gets bigger that we are going to have to migrate to a .net or java based solution in the future. The more I develop, the more I worry about the amount of re-work I am creating for myself in the future. I would feel better about my decision to choose web2py if this supported the current version of the product.
I am not sure my Python abilities are good enough yet to be heavily involved in a conversion from 2.7 - 3.5, but I would be happy to help where I can once my current project is implemented.
