Upgrading my son's machine should be less painful, because he doesn't need cutting-edge versions of scipy, wxPython or Matplotlib... but I do hope that some of the game packages, like PyGame, are Python 3-compatible.  I haven't checked into that yet.

I've used pygame with Python 3, so it's definitely compatible.
