I'm inclined to agree. I remember some discussion about adding a Wiki page for this, but searching quickly what I've come up with is a suggestion in the Py3k/FAQ page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python3000/FAQ which points towards a PyPI query listing packages which have Python :: 3 tagged: http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=533 It doesn't seem an entirely unreasonable approach. It falls short of a researched / edited page (even a Wiki one) but that would be a lot of work. I'm not sure how many Python packages don't make into PyPI, nor am I sure how much effort people take to categorise their packages appropriately. It could well be the case that a number of packages will work in Python 3.x without modification but their entry probably won't reflect that unless their maintainer's gone to the trouble to test the package and update it. Obviously, in the case of (Windows) extension modules, the module will at the very least need recompiling and rebuilding even if the code works without modification.
