Python 3 is a huge backwards incompatible change from Python 2 and some of the packages we depend on (wxPython and py2exe to name two critical ones) don't yet support Python 3. Until they are updated, we can't even consider updating. Python 2.7 is still being maintained, so Python 3 doesn't bring stability benefits. (I've no idea what gave you the idea that Python 3 would magically make NVDA "much more stable".) Nevertheless, there are benefits for us, so switching would be nice eventually, but it's not possible at this point.

@josephsl May we close this ticket as a duplicate of the ones you recently filed to better structure this Python 3 upgrade?

3.3.2 is heavily outdated anyway, given that 3.6 is the newest series. Closing.
