Porting your own code was relatively easy. The problem was porting all your dependencies, and replacing the ones that were abandoned and didn't support 3.x.

I did wait a bit for Django and SQLAlchemy but it wasn't long, they may have been ready for 3.6. Small deps were replaced or eliminated.

They were ready long before 3.6, sqlalchemy added support for Python 3.1 in 0.6, and Django 1.5 introduced support for Python 3.2 on an experimental basis with 1.6 removing the “experimental” bit.
