  i've not had any problems with python3 here, but i 
don't do strange things with python3.  oh, let me
rephrase that, during a recent round i had a problem
with a program, but that wasn't anything i did so it
was somewhere in the stack of modules that program 
used.  does that mean it was incompatible?  no, it 
just meant there was a bug introduced which eventually 
got fixed.
