Anyone know who's maintaining the poll? If not, I'm going to remove it from the front page. ----- Forwarded message from Joaquin Abian <gatoygata2@gmail.com> -----

Dear Sirs,
Python 3 Poll is contributing negatively to the perception of the status of py3k.
Many of the packages listed already have py3k versions available in windows (matplotlib, PIL, pygame, ipython, pyramid). Some are already official versions like ipython or pyramid, some are available as binaries in Gohlke repository.
It is really impresive the number of people you can find arguing that the fact preventing them to swicht to py3k is the lack of ports of libraries such as numpy, scipy and matplotlib... !! all of them with binary installers for py3k available months ago.
Is it possible to refresh the list or the interaction with people accesing the voting system to prevent people voting to already available libraries. Could be libraries removed from the list as soon as they become available ?
Thanks for your attention
Joaquin Abian

Ideally, the best route would be to recognize which packages have already been ported to Python 3, then when people ask for such packages, tell them, "The authors of package X borrowed Guido's time machine. It's already available for Python 3. Would you like to download Python 3 now?" Skip
