Thanks, guys.

I am noticing the call to 2.8 from time to time (blogs). All along I 
have been seeing the reluctance to migrate to 3.x as either stubborn or 
lazy; or both.

I don't think so any longer. Seems like the reluctance to migrate stems 
from dependencies. Is there a list of primary dependencies ?

As an example:  Is 'twisted' a dependency? ie., twisted does not support 
3.x consequently 'I' can't port my stuff to 3.x because 'twisted' isn't 
there yer.  There are others, gevent, maybe. Has anyone taken an 
inventory of dependencies that must support 3.x before other code(s) can 
be ported?  Maybe there could be an on-line questionnaire regarding 
perceived dependencies?
