Anyone know the developers? Anyone else waiting for 3.x support? This is the only thing keeping me from upgrading to python 3.1 ....

A lot of developers aren't bothering changing their modules to 3.x I dont upgrade personally because i know if i do i will not be able to use wxPython anymore :(

I think that Van Rossum prefers OSX, and he works for Google, which makes 2 other obstacles.
