python-dbus may present a particular problem. Last I heard, upstream was not planning a straight port to python3. They were planning to use gobject introspection. This is a problematic choice for supporting a cross-desktop technology. Even if we were to do our own python-dbus python3 port, the relevant parts of python-qt4 and pykde4 would also have to be ported. If we're serious about a python3 only desktop in "P", then I think some upstream coordination now is essential. KDE 4.8 (the version we would expect to use for "P" for Kubuntu) dependency freeze is November 3. There isn't a lot of time to coordinate this with upstream.
