Thanks Alejandro. *dev_appserver*: The challenge seems to be that it needs python 2 installation for it to support python 3.x. So, looks like dev_appserver is still not "native" to python 3.x.And possibly due to this, I am not able to run dev_appserver in debugger mode for python 3.x applications. That is what I meant about dev_appserver not being available fully for python 3.x.
*Bundled services: *Yes, I looks like now memcache and task queue is being made available for python 3.x and these seem to be in beta as of now. However, from what I understand, *search * is not available as yet unless there is a concrete plan to make it available for 3.x. The current suggestion for search seems to be host our own on Kubernetes, which defeats the whole purpose of someone using Google App Engine - which hides all the infra from the developers. So, unless, the unstated intent of Google team is to move people away from App Engine eventually, current, proposed migration path is not helping. *Notice of termination of python 2.x*: Thank you. This helps.
