No concrete plan with a concrete timeline. I expect to go to python 3
sooner or later, but I don't see a need to migrate immediately.

In fact the main switch I see happening is moving to gtk3 with gir.
This gives a number of improvements in the interface and underlying
libraries. However last time I checked there were no gtk3 python
packages for windows.

Since both switching to python 3 and switching to gtk3 probably mean
me going over the code file by file to check for changes, I rather do
it in one go. So waiting for python 3 + gtk3 packages to become
available before I start planning that.
