I am currently doing a similar sort of website, but trying to limit it to popular projects only. Also trying to group together a lot of the python 3 related articles and porting tips. My current research can be found here: http://goo.gl/SCImr Any corrections, or ideas for what can be on the site would be appreciated.

You're welcome to use content from https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility . There is a growing list of dependencies at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/depends.yaml .

That just saved me a hell of a lot of work. Thank you!

You're welcome. You can even clone that and make a wiki for py3k from it if you want. There's a script (in the wiki repo) to parse the wiki into YAML, so reuse of the current content should be easy no matter what format you want.

Pretty much inaccurate data. For example many project release under a new "3k" name, and leave the old ones. One of those is a backport of a stdlib module (multiprocessing), etc. So, it's bad data, and misleading, but I admire the idea.

Thanks :) You'll notice I removed multiprocessing. I'm considering removing setuptools as well. Too bad I have to hardcode these things. I wish there was some metadata about a package having a py3k counterpart.

"Wall of Shame"? Really? As someone who's project appears on this list (and in the WRONG color) all I can say is that I don't think anyone is trying to dis Python 3.x. Support will come when a critical mass of developers are using 3.x. I know it's kind of a chicken and egg problem but this seems to be saying that it's the package developer's fault and I don't really think that's fair or true.

Which package is in the wrong color?

Google only supports 2.5 for anything python related. Take a look at the python protobuf client: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=66&q=... Don't expect google to upgrade anytime soon.

Python 2.7 is now on the roadmap. http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.html

Oh now that'll be nice. Wonder if they'll let let me future import ;) I seem to recall some restrictions in how they implemented the VM for AppEngine.
