A decent listing of major packages that already support Python 3 would
be very handy for the new Python2orPython3 page I created on the wiki,
and easier to keep up-to-date. (the old Early2to3Migrations page
didn't look particularly up to date, but hopefully we can keep the new
list in a happier state).

It just ticked past midnight for me, so I'm off to bed, but for anyone
with a wiki account, have at it:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3

(Updating the beginner's guide to recognise Python 3 as a valid option
would also be helpful: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide)

Cheers,
Nick.
