About time too. It's been 3½ years since Python 3 came out. People should've moved to it a long time ago.

I suspect lack of Django support for Python 3 was a factor

Actually the move has and always had a 5 year time frame. We are well within it.

As a side note, I just yesterday tried out the Django 1.5 development trunk in a python3 virtualenv and it all worked. :)

Oh, sure, that wasn't intended as a dig on Django. My point was just the fact that you couldn't run it under Python3 was likely a factor in the slow adoption.
