every one is telling "dont go with python 3 , 3rd party tools and
libraries have no compitability with python 3"

so from previous experience : when can i expect libraries and third
party tools to be updated for python 3 ? (especially libraries )

When the authors of a every library wants update to 3 :-D.

Yes, that is the correct answer. From what I read, I would say that in most
projects, work or at least discussion has started regarding Py3 compatibility,
but it's not always trivial to get there, so (wo)manpower will often be the
limiting factor.

This is specifically a problem in C extensions, where running the 2to3 tool is
not an option and adding a 'b' in selected places won't do the job.

Note, BTW, that you do not have to wait for *all* Python libraries to be ported.
Just check when the libraries you require or want to use get ported (or ask the
authors or the development communities), and try a switch when it looks like all
you need is there.

.... or give a hand to the projects you need, if you don't want to sit and wait.

The problem is: there is no previous experience. At least not in
Python-land.

Despite its major number, Python 2.0 was not disruptive.

(Is there hope that you could set your From field using your real name
so we can discuss with a real person instead of a pseudonym?)

Could you define what a "real name" is?

(If you think the above sounds annoyed, you are certainly correct; I have
little patience for this nonsense.)

A rough working definition: The name you would use to introduce yourself
if you met me for the first time in a similar context but face to face.

That's fine by me, but unless you know for sure that any particular
person does not introduce zirself that way, I think that your
parenthetical that I took exception to is phrased too strongly.
