As you well know, there is no such thing as 'python' when it comes to 
compiling actual code. So please specify both in announcements here and 
on the project homepage http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyjamas/
which versions are supported. I do not really want to have to download 
and experiment to determine whether to bother downloading.

If you do not yet support 3.x, I request and recommend that you do so, 
even if only on Windows with comtypes. Since comtypes uses ctypes, I 
presume it works fine with Python 3 (this is one major advantage of 
using ctypes.)

Like it or not, Python 3 is the future of Python. It is the Python that 
many Python newcomers learn first, and perhaps ever will. Such students 
usually have no experience or loyalty to any other GUI package, and I am 
sure that many would love to be able to develop apps that they can run 
on their desktop, give to friends to run in a browser, and run on their 
phones.
