>From recent uploads, it seems that a proper python3 stack (i.e.
interpreter, -default and helper tools) is still a work-in-progress:
am I wrong on this? can we start to provide third-party modules py3k
binary packages without having to change several other times how the
packaging is done? If it's still and on-going effort, do you have any
estimate when it will converge to a usable state?
