Because everyone asked, I gonna clear a few things about PyPy3 support, please keep the comments civil.
* We are not against working on Python 3 - it just happens that there is a lot of interest these days in things like numerics, warmup improvements and C extensions that we want to focus on.
* We essentially exhausted Py3k pot. I personally think it delivered what it promised, despite being short on the funding goals. It's crazy what level of expectations people have with crowdfunding - it's really difficult to find someone to deliver a big, multi-year project for 60k, even outside the states.
* We're closely watching py3k adoption - since we're always a few releases behind, we'll probably do a 3.5 after CPython 3.6 is out, but it all depends on good will of volunteers, who I have no control over.
* Money can easily change focus, but it would need to be a significant enough amount to actually commit to delivering a fast and compliant PyPy 3.5, not 5 or 10k
I hope this clear some things up, those opinions are my own and not necesarilly represent everybody in the pypy project
EDIT: there is just over 8k USD left in the py3k pot. At $60 USD/h (official SFC rate) it's 146h. That's not enough to even fix the inefficiencies in the current version. We hope to use it to get to version 3.3
