It's tough to know but I keep an eye on this stuff. You can count on a solid ~10% marketshare for Python3. Going too far beyond that without updated numbers would be overly generous.

Roughly 12% of PyPi has been ported to Python3[0] and about 10% of pip downloads are Python3[1].

More importantly (to me) is that Py3 uploads have now exceeded Py2, according to https://twitter.com/chupapuma/status/730088983586181120

I saw that one too but Py3 hasn't actually intersected with Py2 yet. Uploads will level off. It doesn't have relevance on a marketshare question, it would be misleading. It does show some momentum.

Most everything you would want already exists on Python2. A lot of those uploads are forks or new projects that already have solutions in 2. I have no problem with Python3 and glad to see people putting their money where their mouth is and 'get to porting'. Rather than blogs/complaining about the userbase/backroom deals and conspiracies to kill Python2.

5000 packages converted, 55,000 to go. If you can't port until somebody else does, then projects that depend on you can't convert. Guido talks about this, and says more than "looks green to me".
