Python 3.3 came out almost exactly three(!) years ago and seems to have all major features that they would require. Nikola's PyPI page claims support of Python 3.3 for just about as long, since version 5.4 or so, which means that all of their dependencies were already available back then. It's a different thing for *libraries* that Python 2.x users still depend on, but for an *application* that has all its (necessary) dependencies available in Python 3.x, I can't see a general reason to keep supporting both language versions.
