<nod> Fedora 14 is about the same.  A nice to have thing that goes along
with these would be a table that has packages ported to python3 and which
distributions have the python3 version of the package.

Once most of the important third party packages are ported to python3 and in
the distributions, this table will likely become out-dated and probably
should be reaped but right now it's a very useful thing to see.
