PyPI should also be enhanced to indicate which libraries are
3.x-compatible, to make it easier for 3.x users to find packages they
can use.

This may be more complicated than it sounds, because you'd probably
add a very general requirement-indicating feature to PyPI, not merely
a 'supports 3.0' Boolean on each record, and requirements are actually
pretty complicated: alternative packages, specific version numbers...
