Any idea where we stand with wxPhoenix/python3 builds?  I'm wondering if
we have enough user testing with this configuration to feel comfortable
enabling it for 5.1.  Do we even have any packaged builds with this
configuration for users to test?  I haven't seen any bug reports
directly attributed to this so either it works as well as
wxPython/python2 or very few users are running it and it is not well tested.
