Tim, when are we getting Python 3 support on Lambda?

Being stuck on 2.7 has been the greatest source of issues and the #1 problem we have with Lambda. If Google/Microsoft came out today with Python 3 support in their Lambda competitor, we'd move in an instant.

Piggybacking above comment with "Wheres da Ruby?" :D Using shims or jruby (with slow startup wasting milliseconds) hurts.

I'm in the same boat. We're developing a new product with no real reason to stay on Python 2, besides Lambda. Python 3 support would make my life so much easier.

Yep, I hear about the lack of Python3 all the time, and I know our Python users are waiting for it. On the roadmap, and partially complete, but competing with some other language work at the moment.
