wxPython on 3.x moved away from Swig, we don't know if our swig work would still play nice. I am neutral, having moved from pro ver. 3.x python to neutral over the last 4 years of dreaming about it. From my experience, there is a near psychotic fear among python programmers of version 3.x, or there was at my last measurement of it. I would be delighted to be surprised on that evolution. Travis, if you want to make a case, make it. I will get out of the way and remain neutral.
