Thanks for the pointer.  I installed and ran caniusepython3.  It tells 
me:

That's a big list.  A few of those we could probably work around or 
replace with a different module without too much pain.  But, between 
gevent, boto, fabric, and suds, any idea of migrating is a total 
non-starter for us.  I imagine they're all working on ports, but I'll 
check back in a year and see how things stand.
