twisted core works on python 3, right now. Contribute to Twisted if
you want to port more code... Or start something new, asyncio (with
trollius, it works on Python 2 too).

The develpoment branch of gevent supports Python 3, especially if you
dont use monkey patching. Ask the developers to release a version, at
least with "experimental" Python 3 support.

I don't know pika. I read "Pika Python AMQP Client Library". You may
take a look at https://github.com/dzen/aioamqp if you would like to
play with asyncio.

> With those ones ported switching to Python 3 *right now* is not only
> possible and relatively easy, but also convenient.
