I think it's not so hard, and you should definitely do it. It's true that the tools need to catch up to Python 3, but I think most packages can be adapted to include python3-* versions without too much trouble.

Should packagers create a python3 extension >even if there is no way to test it? It might be a chicken and egg problem. I'm not sure what you mean by "no python3 program to test it". You can and should create the Python 3 extension modules. `apt-get install python3` should do the trick, right? Cheers, -Barry
