But! Our goal should be to help people convert to Python3. So how can we find out what the specific problems are that real-world programs are facing, look at the actual code, and help that project figure out the best way to make that code work in both python2 and python3?
That seems like the best way to find out what needs to be added to python3 or pypi: help port the actual code of the developers who are running into problems. Yes, I'm volunteering to help with this, though of course I can't promise exactly how much time I'll have available.
And, as has been the case for a long time, the PSF stands ready to help with funding credible grant proposals for Python 3 porting efforts. I believe some of the core devs (including David?) do freelance and contract work, so that's an option definitely worth considered if a project would like to support Python 3, but are having difficulty getting their with purely volunteer effort.
Cheers, Nick.
