+1 with Matthias, we should plan pyqt2 and python 3 for a future release. I see major risks in migrating now when we are in feature freeze with so many blockers to solve in 2 months. We have very few users and developpers that did real test to migrate to pyqt2 and python 3 , so we might have major issues hidden in there. We users really need 2.0 to happen this year in a stable state and I guess this is already a great challenge. My two cents.
