Is anyone now using Python 3 in production? Would you use it if you were starting over?

Here's good, recent talk by Jacob Kaplan-Moss about porting django apps to Python 3: http://pyvideo.org/video/1787/porting-django-apps-to-python-...

Last month I started a new django app and wanted to try out Python 3. I did however run into issues with 3rd party apps. I tried to port one, but lack of Python 3 knowledge and time to learn held me back.

So far, no, mostly due to 3rd party issues. Once the rest of the library sets I use port over, maybe.

I think this is the problem for most people. For most of my own code in the projects I've worked on, a Python 3 port has been pretty straightforward. But I don't think it's really worth the effort to port all my dependencies right now.
