OP and maintainer of the above site here.

Thanks for noticing py3readiness.org

Yes, it's up-to-date and takes advantage of https://github.com/brettcannon/caniusepython3

Also, you can help to keep it updated https://github.com/chhantyal/py3readiness

Both lists should replace python-ldap with ldap3. The former is abandon-ware and will never (probably) be upgraded. The latter already works great with python 3 (and is a better library all-around).

There are more packages like that, in fact:

* Python-MySQL is abandoned, but it's been superseded by python-mysql-connector.

* oauth2 is kind of superseded by oauthlib.

* pathtools can probably be replaced with Python 3's pathlib.

* ipaddr can be replaced with iptools, which has the additional advantage that you can contribute to it without approval from Google's lawyers.

We know about that. Many of the packages are overriden if there are drop-in replacements like PIL -> Pillow.

In above list, these are not drop-in replacements and it will require lots of changes in your application code if you want to use them. One idea is to show alternative packages https://github.com/chhantyal/py3readiness/issues/9
