It really is your battle. Major Python projects not supporting Python 3 in 2016 is shameful and holds back the broader adoption of Python 3.


We spent the py3k budget (almost all of it) on delivering pypy 3.2. If someone is very unhappy that it was either too expensive or we didn't deliver enough for the money we received, I can apologize.


Would be nice if the numbers on the home page were more representative of the current situation, then.


They say we have 8800 left, right?


Well, yes, but it also has this big meter that looks 60% full and gives the viewer the impression that monetary support for this feature is well underway and likely reduces the amount of donations you'll receive for it.


You can't blame someone you aren't paying for not implementing a feature you want.


They are being paid. $63K, including by me. It's their most funded donation goal.

From a later comment by a dev...

"We spent the py3k budget (almost all of it) on delivering pypy 3.2."

Even the link you shared shows the pot is down to $8222. Hopefully that will increase, but I don't know what would be required to get support for later Python versions.
