This is good advice, so I went looking there to find out what it's all
about.  And you were definitely right: The mailing list archive fully
demostrates the complete lack of communication and cooperation from the
maintainer, which seems to be the main problem with python at the momemt

This is the only python3 relevant article I found from Matthias Klose:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/02/msg00431.html

So 16 Feb 2009 he wrote "I will start uploading python2.6 and related
packages, then proceed with python3.x in the next weeks."  Did I miss
any updates after this?  If so, do you have a direct thread link to that
discussion?
