Thanks for proving my point

There's Fabric3, MySQL libs that work with Python3 (and Django), futures are a backport of a feature from Python3, uWSGI and BeautifulSoup might be worrying but the site shows mostly green

At this point if the library hasn't been ported to Py3, someone else would have done it for you or abandoned it.

Edit: Thanks for the updates!

BeautifulSoup4 is Python3 compatible. It was released under a new name.

uWSGI has Python3 support as a module.

I have been using both on Python3 for many years. I don't think there is any python module left which does not have Python3 support or a more modern, better alternative.

And BeautifulSoup is the not-supported older version, not BeautifulSoup4 which runs on Python3 just fine.

I think ansible is a big one for RHEL though.

Ansible works just fine on python3 for both local and remote actions. You need to explicitly tell it to use python3 at the moment, but this will go away eventually.

There are a couple modules with options that break in a Python 3 environment, but that number is I think in the single digits now. I’m very close to switching all my Ansible masters to 3 finally.
