What disqualifies other obstacles from being “*real* obstacles”? How do
you determine that?

If my program relies on an obscure library ‘foo’, and that library is
not ported to Python 3, switching to Python 3 is not feasible, and
certainly not convenient — regardless of the status of “important
packages such as twisted, gevent, and pika”.

So your assertion here is plainly false.

What is it you're actually wanting to say?
