Python 3.3 is indeed much easier to port to. For example it accepts the unicode string syntax u"" so you don't have to change all those strings.
For me, the blocking factors are libraries (Python GTK and twill for example) and the fact the Python 3.3 is not available in Debian testing/stable. So I will have to wait for the next Debian release after wheezy.

If you're a software developer for any kind of important package you shouldn't wait for stuff to pop up in Debian stable or testing. They are the ones waiting for you.
