so user are not required to install two Python versions?
AFAIK there are merge requests for all the parts, the only hold-up is testing to make sure they actualy work. You can search for "Python 3" in the gitlab issue trackers for more information.

Since Django 2 only supports Python3 support for it will most probably be added by merging the Python3 branches. I haven't gone over all the details, but I don't think there are any changes that still require porting...

There exists merge request for all the django applications. As Simon mentioned, I am the guy stalling for some more testing :)
My personal deadline is the end-of-this-year, so I'd say sometime by end of January would be a reasonable timeframe for an alpha release of Python 3 based Django apps.

This will be done as a part of the Python 3 port, so next releases should support Django-2.0 out of the box.
