The difficulty is that Python3 is backwards-incompatible, meaning that either two concurrent branches must be maintained, or SymPy has to switch completely at some point in time. The latter is difficult due to a sort of Catch-22 with libraries - people don't move over their projects to Py3 because they rely on other code that hasn't moved, and the other code hasn't moved because of the same thing. Now, I've been told that 2to3 should work perfectly, and any issues with the code generated from it are actually things that should be fixed in the Python 2.x codebase. I've also been told that that's bollocks. Anyways, there is a task[0] for it in the issue tracker, so you can keep track of its progress there. There's also some discussion in this thread[1], linked to from the issue.
