[Aahz]

Anyone know who's maintaining the poll?  If not, I'm going to remove it
from the front page.

> Python 3 Poll is contributing negatively to the perception of the status of

> 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
