Oh I was think about sugar and I forgot about sugar-toolkit-gtk3. So yes,
we will have to keep compatibility with 2.7 in toolkit for a looong time.

Ugh. The only way I can think of approaching this is to port telepathy
upstream and then keep 2.7 compatibility in sugar until ported telepathy is
widely available in distros.

Honestly this makes me wonder if we should wait a bit more before porting
to python 3. At least until all our dependencies has been ported and
available in distros.
