According to the trove information on pypi [1] this is python only, not
python3.  We were hoping to not increase the amount of python packages needing
porting to python3.  Have you discussed python3 plans with upstream?

Nope, not yet. However, as I discussed with one guy of the team some time ago, I do not think there is any plan to go to python3.
This is an academic tool, and very often, they only focus on getting something working and base maintenance.

I understand the need to plan python3 switch, however we cannot block tools used by the community. 

I will ask upstream anyway.
