Speaking of FUD, we've had a plan for Python 3 support for some time:

     http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2484
     http://stackoverflow.com/questions/172306/how-are-you-planning-on-handling-the-migration-to-python-3/214601#214601

Not only that, but progress is actually being made on that plan, as it  
is being slowly executed by contributors from the community, a  
sampling of which you can see on these tickets, linked from the bottom  
of the "master plan" ticket I mentioned above (#2484):

     http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4053
     http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4065
     http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4066

If you're interested in helping, our core team has all not had much  
time for Twisted lately and we need volunteers who are interested in  
doing code reviews and becoming a committer to help shepherd these  
tickets through the process.
