Pypy doesn't have substantially good support of c-extenstions, so, let's say, numpy has to be rewritten anyways.  RDB drivers are also poorly supported, while python 3 has an excellent pypostgresql written entirely in python.  Django, twisted and even zope will support python 3 eventually, it is a matter of time.  Why not to start the move now, and do all the heavy work of rewriting numpy & other libs in python 3 to save time later?

Likely the usual argument about Python 3: Most libraries and code are
Python 2. People are interested in using PyPy now and now is Python 2.

(I personally don't care but this is because I mostly work on Python
implementations, and my income doesn't depend on Python 2. :))
