At Dropbox I work with a large group of very capable developers on several large code bases that are currently in 2.7. We are constantly changing our code to make it more secure (there are several teams specifically in charge of that). And yet porting to Python 3 is completely out of scope, for a variety of reasons.

Please stop your wishful thinking.

I can stop expressing it; I don't think I can stop wishing it :-)

If it's really unrealistic that Dropbox will ever port the code to Python 3, would you then think that Python 3 is a doomed project, since it won't ever see significant usage?
